Abstract
A delivery cylinder includes a first tubular portion and a second tubular portion having a plurality of struts coupled to the first tubular portion and defining a volume for containing a radially compressed prosthetic implant. The struts include proximal end portions and main body portions extending from the proximal end portions in both an expanded configuration and a contracted configuration. The proximal end portions of each strut include a pair of first recessed portions defined in longitudinal edges of the strut, and a pair of second recessed portions defined in the longitudinal edges distally of the pair of first recessed portions. The pair of first recessed portions reduces a width of the strut to induce bending of the strut at the pair of first recessed portions, and the pair of second recessed portions reduces the width of the strut to induce bending at the pair of second recessed portions.
