Abstract
A vascular closure device assembly, comprises a sheath comprising: a sheath main body defining a channel therethrough, a sheath engagement portion, and a sheath mounting portion located at a proximal end of the sheath main body. The assembly comprises a housing within which the sheath mounting portion is secured such that the sheath is rotatable relative to the housing, and such that the housing inhibits axial displacement of the sheath relative to the housing. The assembly also includes a dilator comprising a dilator main body, and a dilator engagement portion extending from the dilator main body towards the sheath. The dilator engagement portion is configured to engage the sheath engagement portion such that axial displacement of the dilator relative to the sheath causes the sheath to rotate relative to the housing, and wherein the housing is configured to inhibit axial displacement of the sheath during rotation.
