Abstract
A clip for use during the loading of a prosthetic heart valve into a delivery device having an operating handle, a catheter assembly having a compartment for receiving the prosthetic heart valve, and an outer shaft joining the catheter assembly to the operating handle. The clip includes a first receiver coupleable to the operating handle of the delivery device and a second receiver coupleable to the outer shaft of the delivery device. The first and second receivers may be arranged orthogonally to one another so that in use the clip orients the catheter assembly substantially orthogonally to the operating handle.
