Heart Valve Crimping
MSI can take you from your initial crimp to thousands of units per year
Deliver Quality and Value
Crimping tools are designed to easily and precisely reduce the diameter of large stents that have living tissue attached while operating partially submerged in a saline solution to preserve the tissue integrity. These tools come in a variety of lengths and diameter ranges to crimp balloon-expandable and self-expandable heart valves.
Proven Innovation and Expertise
Transcatheter heart valve crimping tools (HV) from MSI use proprietary segmental compression technology to crimp live tissue products. The disposable heart valve crimper is a low-cost tool for single procedures. It features a small footprint for bedside applications, easy disassembly for cleaning and an integrated, spring-loaded worm drive for diameter lock and fine adjustment.
