SC775S (PTCA) & SC875S (PTA)
Automated Stent Crimping Equipment

MSI SC775S/875S stent crimping equipment maximizes operator efficiency and streamlines product handling through automation, process control and feedback.

The MSI SC775S/875S stent crimping equipment maximizes operator efficiency and streamlines product handling through automation, process control and feedback. This equipment is intended for medium to high volume manufacturing of balloon expandable stents and balloon expandable stent graft products. The SC775S/875S integrates the proprietary MSI segmental compression mechanism with PLC control and touch screen user interface. Data acquisition allows cycle data to be collected and stored for quality purposes.

The SC775S/875S stent crimping equipment utilizes multi-stage profiles with crimp-to-force and crimp-to-diameter movements, especially important for minimizing recoil associated with cobalt-chromium stents. Staged interrupts allow for in-process inspection and re-sheathing, and synchronized balloon vacuum and inflation can increase stent retention. Process alarm windows managed by the SC775S/875S ensure the crimping process remains in control.
