Abstract
Trays and packaging systems for a prosthesis delivery device that permit conversion from a packaged, storage/or shipping configuration to a loading configuration for the loading of a prosthesis. The prosthesis may be a prosthetic heart valve. In the packaged configuration, the delivery device can be supported within the tray, which includes a recess and at least one clip maintaining the delivery device within the recess. In the loading configuration, the delivery device can be arranged for loading of the prosthesis within a bath area of the tray. Optionally, the delivery device can be stored in the packaged configuration in a U-shape. Some embodiments include an additional recess for positioning an indeflator fluid line or tubing. Methods of use are also disclosed.
