Abstract
A medical device system includes a tubular medical device and a diameter reducing arrangement. The tubular medical device comprises a tubular graft body having a proximal end and a distal end. The diameter reducing arrangement is configured for constricting the medical device, and includes a strand section having first and second ends and being immovably secured to the medical device at the first end and at the second end. The second end is a first circumferential distance from the first end by way of a path along the strand section In a constricted configuration of the medical device a first portion of the strand section extends back on itself to form a first double-stranded tail leading to a first loop, the first tail extending circumferentially against the graft body, constricting the medical device by the strand section restricting the first circumferential distance between the first and second ends of the strand section.
