A cochlear implant insertion-assisting device includes a tubular member configured to hold a cochlear implant. The tubular member includes a cut extending in a longitudinal direction. The cochlear implant insertion-assisting device can selectively switch between a first state in which the cochlear implant is held and a second state in which the cochlear implant can be released.
