A medical device crimping system comprises a crimper and a plurality of protective strips (40). The crimper defines a crimping iris, which has an open state and a closed state. In the open state the cross-sectional area of the crimping iris is greater than in the closed state. The plurality of protective strips (40) extend longitudinally through the crimping iris. Each of the strips is radially offset from one another. The strips protect the stent from direct contact with the crimping blades of the crimper.

Le sertisseur définit une iris de sertissage présentant un état fermé et un état ouvert. A l'état ouvert, la section transversale de l'iris de sertissage est supérieure à celle à l'état fermé. La pluralité de bandes de protection (40) s'étend longitudinalement au travers de l'iris de sertissage. Chaque bande est décalée radialement par rapport à l'autre. Les bandes protègent le stent contre tout contact direct avec les lames de sertissages du sertisseur.
