A system for reducing the diameter of a stent comprises a stent contracting assembly and a fluid source. The assembly comprises a plurality of contracting (12) members that define a diameter reduction chamber (14) for receiving a stent. When the chamber is in a pre-reduction configuration the stent has a first diameter and when the chamber is in a reduced configuration the stent has a second diameter. The second diameter is less than the first diameter. The fluid source (20) is in fluid communication with the chamber and is constructed and arranged to inject a fluid therein. The fluid forms a fluid bearing between the contracting members and the stent which prevents the contracting members from contacting the stent in the reduced diameter configuration.

La présente invention concerne un système pour réduire le diamètre d'un stent, comprenant un dispositif de contraction de stent et une source de liquide. Le dispositif comprend une pluralité d'éléments de contraction (12) qui définissent une chambre de réduction de diamètre (14) destinée à recevoir un stent. Lorsque la chambre se trouve dans une configuration de pré-réduction, le stent a un premier diamètre, et lorsque la chambre se trouve dans une configuration de réduction, le stent a un second diamètre inférieur au premier. La source de liquide (20) est en communication fluidique avec la chambre et est réalisée et conçue pour injecter un liquide dans celle-ci. Le liquide constitue un support liquide entre les éléments de contraction et le stent, ce qui permet d'éviter aux éléments de contraction de venir en contact avec le stent dans la configuration à diamètre réduit.
