HOME PRODUCTS KNOWLEDGE BASE PRICING / BUYING ABOUT CONTACT Low Cost Crimpers Home / Low Cost Crimpers These simple radial compression machines have no electronics. They are suitable for a variety of applications in medical device manufacturing, R&D labs, and catheter labs. Designed with low-cost fabrication in mind, these crimpers are a bit less accurate and less powerful than the more expensive Blockwise crimpers, and are available in relatively short working lengths. General-Purpose, Low-Force Model RC The world’s lowest-priced stent crimper. Zero die-to-die gap, easy viewing, variety of actuation methods. Used for many applications including precrimping (sizing) balloon-expandable stents, clamping or holding, and certain self-expanding stent loading applications. RCC Hand-Actuated Diameter Length Max RF 0-26 mm 38 mm 425 N RCJ Air-Actuated with Controls Diameter Length Max RF 0-26 mm 38 mm 425 N RCD Air Cylinder Mounted Diameter Length Max RF 0-26 mm 38 mm 425 N Heart Valve Sized, Medium Force Model M2 Size range and force range covers typical prosthetic heart valve applications. Used in many other applications where a larger or stronger low-cost crimper is needed. RVS Hand Crank-Actuated Diameter Length Max RF 0-41 mm 25 or 50 mm 600 N RVJ Air-Actuated with Controls Diameter Length Max RF 0-41 mm 25 or 50 mm 600 N RVD Air Cylinder Mounted Diameter Length Max RF 0-41 mm 25 or 50 mm 600 N RVSS Steam Sterilizable Diameter Length Max RF 0-41 mm 25 or 50 mm 600 N Heart Valve-Sized, High Force Model RSS Blockwise’s lowest priced stent crimper is also very powerful. This innovative and proprietary mechanism provides high mechanical advantage, enabling the highest radial force available in a hand-actuated mechanism. High visibility of the product. Useful for balloon-expandable heart valves and other balloon-expandable stents that don’t require heated dies. Suitable as a disposable tool in some applications.
