  • a housing configured to receive a prosthetic valve in a radially expanded state, the housing member including a funnel segment and an outlet in communication with the funnel segment; and

    an actuator rotatably coupled to the housing, wherein rotation of the actuator relative to the housing causes the prosthetic valve to move axially through the funnel segment such that at least a portion of the prosthetic valve compresses radially by engagement with the funnel segment and exits the crimping device via the outlet.
