Abstract

A stent loading device is provided for loading a stent on a catheter of the type used in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures. The device has an end unit for holding a stent, a collet having a plurality of radially compressible fingers fitted to said end unit, a main body having a plurality of finger-like extensions whose distal ends can be fitted into openings in said base unit, a proximal extension for receiving a cap with compressible washer therein fitted to said main body proximal extension, a rotatable sleeve with collet driver fitted about said collet and main body finger-like extensions and a guide wire embedded in end unit and longitudinally extending through said device to either terminate at the proximal end of said cap or extend a distance from the proximal end of said cap. The stent loading device serves as a stent delivery tool within which a catheter is inserted, after which the stent is crimped onto the catheter balloon. The stent loading device is disposable and well-suited for one-time use.
