A method for manufacturing a stent delivery system having a holder and at least one stent configured to expand from a first diameter to a second diameter is provided. The manufacturing method includes compressing the stent to the first diameter, inserting the stent into a first tube, placing a second tube inside the first tube and inside an inner diameter of the stent. The second tube is airtight. The manufacturing method also includes applying pressure and heat suitable to the second tube, thereby blowmolding the second tube against the stent.
