Abstract
Packaging for prosthetic heart valves including an assembly for securely retaining a heart valve within a sterile jar and facilitating retrieval therefrom. The assembly includes a packaging sleeve that fits closely within the jar and has a clip structure for securing a valve holder. A delivery handle on the end of a shaft couples with the valve holder while the packaging sleeve engages the jar to prevent rotation. The assembly of the packaging sleeve, valve, and holder can then easily be removed from the jar.
