Self-expandable heart valve bioprosthesis collapsing tool, single-use

A self-expandable heart valve bioprosthesis collapsing tool is a specialized medical device used to reduce the diameter of self-expanding cardiac valve prostheses during open or transcatheter cardiovascular surgery. This allows the collapsed valve to be mounted onto a holder or catheter, facilitating easier implantation in patients.

These devices are designed for single-use only and are manually operated. They are available in various designs to accommodate different valve types and surgical approaches. The regulation and classification of these devices depend on the specific jurisdiction and the particular product design.
