A medical stent mold includes a tube having an interior passage sized and dimensioned to receive a stent assembly disposed at least partially about a central portion of a stent balloon. The medical stent mold may also include a housing forming a chamber through which the tube extends. The tube may include a thermally conductive material and may have a body portion that extends within the chamber and an end portion that is proximate the body portion and that extends away from the housing. Forced convection may be used to quickly heat and cool the tube. Methods of increasing retention of an expandable stent assembly on a stent balloon and of detecting a leak in a stent balloon are also included.

Stent thermoforming apparatus and methods

A stent-delivery assembly that includes a catheter; an expandable stent that is movable, relative to the catheter, from a first position to a second position; and a guidewire assembly extending through a longitudinal passage of the catheter and a longitudinal passage of the stent, the guidewire assembly being movable, relative to the catheter, from a third position to a fourth position. While the expandable stent is in the first position and while the guidewire assembly is in the third position, the stent-delivery assembly has an a-traumatic shape. While the expandable stent is in the second position and while the guidewire assembly is in the fourth position, the guidewire assembly is capable of passing through the stent to allow for retrieval of the stent-delivery assembly. Methods of use and manufacture are also included.

Deformable tip for stent delivery and methods of use

A medical stent mold includes a tube having an interior passage sized and dimensioned to receive a stent assembly disposed at least partially about a central portion of a stent balloon. The medical stent mold may also include a housing forming a chamber through which the tube extends. The tube may include a thermally conductive material and may have a body portion that extends within the chamber and an end portion that is proximate the body portion and that extends away from the housing. An inner diameter of the end portion of the tube is greater than an inner diameter of the body portion of the tube. Forced convection may be used to quickly heat and cool the tube. Methods of increasing retention of an expandable stent assembly on a stent balloon and of detecting a leak in a stent balloon are also included.
