ABSTRACT:
A heart valve holder and packaging for supporting a bioprosthetic heart valve. The holder is attached to the heart valve, preferably with a single suture, and has a grip for either direct manual manipulation of the heart valve or for the attachment of a removable handle. A clip is provided which attaches to the heart valve holder and suspends the valve holder and the heart valve within a casing or jar. Ethanol or another suitable fluid within the jar protects the heart valve from biologic contamination, while the structure of the heart valve holder and clip protect the heart valve from physical damage. The valve holder, with attached heart valve, and the clip, can be removed from the jar as a single unit, and the clip can be detached from the heart valve holder.
