ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mounting a radially expandable intraluminal stent or stented graft onto a delivery catheter. The apparatus comprises a hollow housing defining an interior chamber and a fluid port which communicates with the interior chamber. Disposed within the interior chamber of the housing is a collapsible, resilient tubular sleeve which is sized to receive a portion of the delivery catheter having the stent or stented graft positioned thereupon. The sleeve includes an open end which communicates with the exterior of the housing. The pressurization of the interior chamber of the housing via the fluid port facilitates the uniform radial compression of the sleeve, with the depressurization of the housing via the fluid port causing the sleeve to resiliently return to an uncompressed state.
