Abstract
The combined dilator/catheter sheath introducer is adapted to be mounted to an outlet from a housing of a catheter sheath introducer assembly. The introducer comprises an elongate tubular member including a proximal portion which is relatively stiff and which does not change shape with changes in temperature above and below the typical human body temperature and a tapered distal portion which is made of a material that has a temperature dependent memory and which changes shape when the temperature thereof is increased to body temperature so that the tapered distal portion can change from its first tapered shape to an expanded generally cylindrical shape with a diameter close to the diameter of the proximal portion.
