Described here are devices and methods for crimping self-expanding devices. The crimping devices may be useful for crimping a variety of different self-expanding devices (whether such devices are biodegradable or bio-durable). The crimping devices may have crimping members to engage the self-expanding device to reduce the device from an expanding configuration to an unexpanded configuration. The crimping member may comprise or include a suture, wire, ribbon, guiding hoop, pusher, prong, holding bar, balloon, jaws, combinations thereof, or the like. The crimping devices may also include or comprise a holding structure to hold the self-expanding device in an unexpanded or expanded configuration.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés pour sertir des dispositifs auto-dilatables. Les dispositifs de sertissage peuvent être utiles pour sertir une diversité de dispositifs auto-dilatables différents (que de tels dispositifs soient biodégradables ou biodurables). Les dispositifs de sertissage peuvent avoir des éléments de sertissage pour venir en prise avec le dispositif auto-dilatable pour réduire le dispositif dune configuration dilatée en une configuration non dilatée. L'élément de sertissage peut comporter ou inclure une suture, un fil, un ruban, une frette de guidage, un poussoir, une patte, une barre de retenue, un ballonnet, des mâchoires, des combinaisons de ceux-ci ou autres. Les dispositifs de sertissage peuvent aussi comprendre ou comporter une structure de retenue pour retenir le dispositif auto-dilatable en une configuration non dilatée ou dilatée.
