These crimpers are sized appropriately for typical prosthetic heart valves, and designed to be easily disassembled for cleaning. Compared with more expensive Blockwise crimpers, type M2 is shorter in length, slightly less powerful, and slightly less accurate at small diameters. All type “M2” compression stations have 9 dies made from POM acetal copolymer. The design is type of Zero-G™ mechanism, with essentially zero die-to-die gap.
