The dissecting member possesses two side portions, with each of the side portions possessing a first end at an end of the side portion farther from the hollow member and a second end at an end of the side portion closer to the hollow member. A projection projects from the first end at each of the side portions of the dissecting member to contact the tissue in the body surrounding the vein during the harvesting of the vein.
