The Blockwise marker band positioners, band loaders, and band precrimpers are tabletop machines that slide bands along a catheter inner member or other substrate to position them. The marker bands are then lightly precrimped into a hexagonal or triangular shape to hold them and ensure accurate band placement prior to swaging. Some machines also include the ability for marker band loading.

Manual Band Positioning
These are simple, manual band positioning tools that move bands to a position, then make a triangular precrimp. They are a fast and accurate option for marker band positioning.
Automated Marker Band Positioning and Precrimping
The PMC offers a reliable yet simple mechanical system that achieves high band positioning accuracy. There are no vision systems or optical sensors on these machines.
