ABSTRACT:
A heart valve holder is provided for holding a heart valve prothesis including an orifice ring having an aperture with a circumferential surface, comprising: a body having a longitudinal axis; a first lever section having a first insertion end and resiliently attached to the body along a first flexure region having a first flexure axis for selectively engaging the heart valve prosthesis; and a second lever section having a second insertion end and resiliently attached to the body along a second flexure region having a second flexure axis parallel to the first flexure axis for selectively engaging the heart valve prosthesis. The body and the first and second lever sections include receiving means for receiving a flexible tensile member to secure engagement of the first and second lever sections to the heart valve prosthesis by flexing the first and second flexure regions so that the first and second insertion ends abut the circumferential surface of the aperture.
