ABSTRACT:
A holder for an artificial heart valve includes a holder body, a handle, and a safety member. The holder body is configured to selectively couple to the heart valve. The handle extends from the holder body. The safety member is spaced apart from the holder body, and extends from the handle and is configured to mate with the heart valve in exactly one orientation. The safety member prevents the holder body from mating with the heart valve in other orientations.
