Abstract: A holding device for a tricuspid prosthetic tissue heart valve which permits the commissure support struts to be drawn toward one another by increasing the tension on the threads which attach the holder to the valve. The resulting tapered valve configuration facilitates valve insertion and reduces the possibility of damaging the valve tissue during implantation.
