Abstract
A loading device includes a locking collar assembly including a proximal end, a distal end, and a loading channel formed between the proximal end and the distal end. The device also includes a loading funnel coupled to the distal end of the locking collar assembly at a proximal end of the loading funnel. The loading funnel is configured to store a collapsible medical device in a partially collapsed state within a tapered interior volume of the loading funnel. The tapered interior volume decreases in volume from a distal end of the loading funnel to the proximal end of the loading funnel.
