Abstract: Tools can be used to assist with the implantation of heart valve prostheses, especially stentless aortic heart valve prostheses. In some embodiments, a heart valve prosthesis includes a plurality of flexible leaflets, a commissure support and a plurality of fasteners inserted into the inner surface of the commissure support and protruding from the outer surface of the commissure support. The fasteners comprise an elongated portion and a tip at an end of the elongated portion. In other embodiments, a heart valve prosthesis includes a plurality of flexible leaflets and a reinforcement secured to an inner surface of a valve commissure support. The reinforcement has an aperture. The heart valve prosthesis and fastener components can be placed into kits. The fasteners can be used to perform improved implantation procedures.

Abstract: The invention involves containers and associated methods for the storage of devices in a moist environment without immersing the device in liquid. The containers have a moisture source that has a liquid supply isolated from a main chamber holding the device. The moisture source is in vapor communication with the main chamber to maintain a high relative humidity. The containers are conducive to storing the device in a sterile environment.
