ABSTRACT:
An introducer device for receiving a generally bullet-shaped obturator and for facilitating the insertion of an examination instrument into an orifice or body cavity of a patient has first and second hingeably connected half-sections. Each half-section includes a handle, a flange connected to the handle and a nose portion extending continuously from the flange. A connector secures the half-sections together to form a cylindrical hollow nose portion sized to receive and hold the obturator. The generally cylindrical hollow nose portion is large enough in diameter to receive the examination instrument when the obturator is removed.
