Abstract: Devices and methods for handles of delivery apparatuses for prosthetic medical devices are disclosed. As one example, a handle for a delivery apparatus can include a housing having an outer wall and at least one window coupled to the outer wall of the housing. The at least one window can define at least one viewing region through the outer wall. The handle can further include at least one indicator positioned within the housing adjacent to the window. The at least one indicator can include a background member and a slider, wherein the slider is configured to slide relative to the background member.

Abstract: Prosthetic valve preparation assemblies and associated methods are disclosed herein. A crimper assembly can include a first crimp stop and a second crimp stop that define respective ranges of motion of an actuator handle. A method of mounting an implantable prosthetic valve to a valve delivery apparatus can include inserting a balloon catheter within the implantable prosthetic valve, partially crimping an annular frame of the implantable prosthetic valve, positioning a crimp alignment tool in an alignment configuration relative to the valve delivery apparatus, positioning the implantable prosthetic valve to engage the crimp alignment tool, and fully crimping the annular frame.
