Abstract
The present application discloses an implant loading apparatus comprising a guider and a guide base. The guider is sleeved on the exterior of the guide base. The guide base comprises a guide column, a connecting section, and a base connected in the axial direction. Fixing sections are provided on either end of the connecting section. The guide base is removably connected to the guider via the fixing sections. The guide base is provided with the two fixing sections that fit the guider to implement twice removable fixing, thus favoring a coaxial operation. A valve stent is neither twisted nor tilted during a compression process, thus increasing loading efficiency, greatly reducing the operation difficulty of a surgery, and allowing the implementation of a single person operation.
