A forming roller (8) lying axially parallel to and in contact with the stent (4) may be included. Rotation of the forming roller may rotate the stent about its longitudinal axis. A second roller (9) for applying the sheath (20) of graft material to the stent as the stent (4) is rotated about its axis may be included.
