ABSTRACT:
An inserting device is provided for inserting an elongated thin flexible surgical member, such as an electrode, and the like, into body tissues. The device includes a pair of tubular portions with longitudinal slits. The two members define a lumen for accepting the surgical member after the device is introduced into the tissues. Thereafter, the members are positioned so that the slits are aligned to provide an opening which allows the inserting device to be withdrawn without interfering with the inserted surgical instrument. An enforcing element, such as an obturator, may be inserted into the lumen while the inserting device is introduced into the tissues.
