ABSTRACT:
The method for mounting an intravascular stent on the distal end of a catheter. The stent-loading device includes at least two substantially flat surfaces, that are parallel to each other, and that have relative sliding movement while remaining parallel. A stent is placed on the distal end of a catheter and positioned between the substantially flat surfaces which are then moved in an orthogonal direction relative to each other while simultaneous compressive force is applied to the stent. The stent is progressively crimped onto the catheter.
