Abstract
The disclosure relates to a holder () for a heart valve prosthesis () including a radially contractible armature () and a prosthetic valve carried by said armature (). The holder () includes an annular member () having a longitudinal axis (xl) and comprising a plurality of supporting formations (), said supporting formations () protruding radially inwardly of said annular member (), and a locking member () configured for coupling with said annular member (). Each supporting formation () includes a coupling profile or feature () configured for engaging the armature () of a heart valve prosthesis (). The coupling profile or feature () being configured to prevent the displacement of the armature () along said longitudinal axis and being configured to prevent rotation of the armature () around the longitudinal axis (X), while leaving the armature () unconstrained in a radially inward direction. The locking member () is configured to removably mate with the annular member () to provide a radial constraint to the armature in a radially inward direction at the supporting formations ().
