Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A medical device processing system is provided which includes a support wall having a support surface for supporting a medical device thereon, such as a graft device. The support wall is generally translucent to allow light to pass therethrough to illuminate a medical device supported on the support surface. The support wall can be formed from other suitable materials that are clear or at least translucent to allow light from a light emitting member to pass therethrough to illuminate the medical device. The support wall and/or the support surface can have any shape suitable to support and allow optimal transmission of light toward the medical device. The support wall can be generally tubular shaped to support tubular shaped medical devices, such as stent grafts.
