Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A medical device includes a polymer scaffold crimped to a catheter having an expansion balloon. The scaffold is crimped to the catheter by a multi-step process for increasing scaffold-catheter yield following a crimping sequence. Damage reduction during a crimping sequence includes modifying blades of a crimper, adopting a multi-step crimping sequence, and inflating a supporting balloon to support the scaffold during crimping.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for crimping a polymer scaffold to a balloon using a crimping device that has a plurality of movable blades, each blade having a tip, the tips arranged to collectively form an iris about a rotational axis thereof, the iris defining a crimp aperture about which the movable blades are disposed, a first and second sheet of polymer film extending between a first and second pair of blades such that a portion of the first and second sheets extends across t…
