ABSTRACT:
A device for making folds in an angioplasty balloon while attached to the distal and portion of an angioplasty catheter has a plurality of press members. Each press member has a substantially planar balloon-contacting surface and the press members are interconnected so that the balloon contacting surfaces of opposing press members confront each other. One or more of the press members includes a longitudinal passage formed in an associated balloon contacting surface which receives the catheter shaft so that the balloon may be folded between the surfaces flanking the passage.
