Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention provides a two-part package and method of use for a pre-attached medical implant and delivery tool system. The package includes a wet compartment and a dry compartment and allows a pre-attached implant and delivery tool system to be at least partially stored immersed in a fluid in the wet compartment and at least partially stored in the dry compartment. In one embodiment the implant comprises a replacement heart valve, and the heart valve is stored inside the wet compartment while the heart valve delivery tool remains dry in the dry compartment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of unpacking a medical implant and delivery tool comprising: receiving an implant connected to a delivery tool wherein the implant is at least partially stored in a wet compartment; removing fluid from the wet compartment; altering the configuration of the implant from a first expanded configuration to a second collapsed configuration; and removing the implant from the wet compartment. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of receiving an implant connected to a delivery tool wherein the implant is at least partially stored in a wet compartment further comprises receiving an implant connected to a delivery tool wherein the delivery tool is at least partially stored in a dry compartment. 3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising removing the delivery tool from the dry compartment. 4. The method of unpacking of claim 1 wherein the implant is at least partially contained within a sheath in the second collapsed configuration and is not contained within the sheath in the first expanded configuration. 5.
