An apparatus (100) for reducing a medical device such as a stent in size is formed of cooperating crimping dies (104, 116) which are joined via a crimping die moving device (132). As the cooperating dies (104, 116) are moved together, an inward force is applied to the medical device to reduce the medical device in size.
