Abstract
An introducer sheath () comprises a tubular body () with a distal portion () and a proximal portion (), the proximal portion () being configured to be inserted into the patient's body. Introducer sheath can be separated along its length in a longitudinal direction. The introducer sheath () further comprises at least a first handle () which is pivotable about a fulcrum (). The first handle () has a first end portion () and a free second end portion () so as to form a lever, such that pivoting the handle () about the fulcrum () causes a contacting portion () of the handle to act on a respective counter portion () that is operatively connected to the distal portion () of the tubular body (). This creates a breaking force that causes the distal portion () of the tubular body () to break.
