Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an introducer adapted to facilitate positioning of a catheter. SOLUTION: The introducer includes an elongate member having an outer wall defining a longitudinal axis and a longitudinal lumen for reception of a catheter. The outer wall includes first and second longitudinal edges defining a longitudinal slot in communication with the longitudinal lumen. The outer wall has a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and defining a thickness at an opposed location generally opposing the longitudinal slot greater than a thickness at edge locations adjacent the first and second longitudinal edges, thereby permitting the first and second longitudinal edges to be displaced relative to each other to increase a dimension of the longitudinal slot to facilitate either one of removal or insertion of the catheter via the longitudinal slot and relative to the longitudinal lumen.
