ROTATION OF A MEDICAL DEVICE DURING CRIMPING
Abstract:
A medical device includes a balloon expanded scaffold crimped to a balloon catheter. The scaffold has a network of rings formed by struts connected at crowns and links connecting adjacent rings. The scaffold has a polymer coating and is crimped to the balloon. The scaffold is rotated, or allowed to rotate during crimping to improve results from crimping, such as reduced damage to the coating.
