ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT FOR TUBULAR MEDICAL DEVICE PROCESSING

摘要

A An apparatus and method for supporting a tubular medical device, such as a stent or scaffold, includes a rod (1) disposed between two collets (10,11). The rod can be shaped to form a range of different size or length helical supports to support a wide range of tubular medical devices. The rod is shaped into a full or partial helix by rotating one of the collets relative to the other.
