Abstract
A device for compressing a stent may include a housing extending along a central longitudinal axis, a first threaded member and a second threaded member, a first iris and a second iris, and a compressor element disposed between the second iris and the second threaded member. The first iris includes a first ring extending transverse to the axis and a first plurality of arms extending from the first ring parallel to the axis. The first plurality of arms defines a first central opening and rotation of the first threaded member changes a size of the first central opening. The second iris includes a second ring extending transverse to the axis and a second plurality of arms extending from the second ring parallel to the axis. The second plurality of arms defines a second central opening and rotation of the second threaded member changes a size of the second central opening.
