An introducer member for blunt dissection of a tunnel is provided to allow easy insertion of the skin protector. A driver member for dilatation of the skin incision, and for facilitating implantation and withdrawal of the skin protector is provided with a complementary configuration to that of the skin protector to cause the skin protector to be taken along with rotary motion of the driver member.
