Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device (10) for crimping a implantable device or a part (R1, R2) thereof between a radially expanded condition and a radially contracted condition, includes first and second annular bodies (10a, 10b) arranged about a common axis (X10), and a ring-like array of linear crimping elements (24) having respective opposite ends linked to the first and second annular bodies, respectively. These annular bodies (10a, 10b) are relatively rotatable around the common axis between a first position, wherein the annular array of crimping elements define a wider orifice (30) for receiving a device to be crimped, and a second position, wherein the annular array of crimping elements define a narrower orifice (30).
