A device and a method for providing a stent for implantation into a body lumen are provided. The stent (3) has a proximal end (31) and a distal end (32), between which a stent lumen having a compressible diameter d extends. A crimping apparatus (4) comprises elements (40) which are disposed about an axis and can be moved at least partially relative to each other radially to the axis. An activator (42) actuate the crimping apparatus (4). The stent is arranged in a storage space designed as tubing (200) that is closed at one end and has an opening (210) at the opposite end. The storage space designed as tubing (200) is filled with an inert filling medium (2) to a filling level (220). The elements (40) enclose the stent (3) and can be moved radially by means of the activator (42) from a widened position, in which the stent (3) is not crimped, into a closed position, in which the diameter d of the stent (3) is compressed. |
