Metal dies for extreme durability
No sliding of the stent on the compression mechanism
Can load stents of any length
Model NJ Stent Loading Machine
The Catheter Gripper holds the catheter next to the compression opening while the stent is loaded inside. Custom bushings and molded gripper pads keep your product held securely in place.
Liquid Nitrogen cooling allows the stent to be cooled prior to crimping, helping stabilize the stent struts or reducing the radial force of the compression stage.

Model NJ with Stent Nozzle™ Compression Station
The tapered entry of the Stent Nozzle™ allows for processing any length of stent. Ball bearings between all moving surfaces means low friction and virtually infinite life. Short length permits more access than any other stent loader.
