ABSTRACT:
A stent crimping tool for firmly and uniformly crimping a stent onto a balloon catheter is constructed from a stationary plate and a sliding platform connected to the stationary plate and slidable linearly relative thereto. A closing plate is hinged to the sliding platform so that it at least partially overlies the stationary plate in a down position, and swings away from the stationary plate to an up position, whereby the stent already having been hand crimped onto the balloon catheter is placed on the stationary plate from a lateral position, and the closing plate is moved to the down position to hold the stent between the closing plate and the stationary plate so that an external force on the closing plate as well as translational motion of the closing plate together crimp the stent onto the balloon catheter. The surfaces engaging the stent may be covered by elastomeric pads having ridges corresponding in location to respective rings or cylindrical elements of the stent.
