HOME PRODUCTS KNOWLEDGE BASE PRICING / BUYING ABOUT CONTACT Stent Crimpers Home / Stent Crimpers A stent crimping machine compresses balloon-expandable stents, thereby attaching the stent to the balloon catheter. Stent crimpers are generally comprised of two parts: the “compression station” – a mechanism that provides a variable-diameter, cylinder-shaped opening – and the “machine base” that controls the process. These machines also serve as general-purpose radial compression machines for various other applications. They can have a film sheathing option that protects fragile product surfaces during crimping. Recipe-Controlled Electric Actuation Stent Crimpers Model CX The world’s best stent crimper. Superior precision and repeatability of diameter or force control make it the the best machine for production. Total flexibility in recipe setup and manual control make it the best stent crimper for R&D. Very easy to learn, use, and calibrate.

CX with Autosheath and Alpha-Crimp™ Small (Including PTCA) Diameter Length Max RF 0-8 mm 75 mm 2670 N CX with Autosheath and RedCrimp™ Long or High-Force Diameter Length Max RF 0-16 mm 310 mm 2670 N CX with Autosheath and J-Crimp™ Medium Diameter Diameter Length Max RF 0-16 mm 62 or 124 mm 1350 N CX with Autosheath and 2-Crimp™ Medium & Long, High Force Diameter Length Max RF 0-16 mm 180 mm 8000 N Simple, Manually Controlled Pneumatic Actuation Stent Crimpers Model RJ These stent crimpers are the same compression stations as the CX stent crimping machine, but do not provide computerized control or timing. The force is adjusted by setting the regulated air pressure, and diameter is adjusted by a stop-screw. A toggle valve opens and closes the compression station.
