INTRODUCER SLITTER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to an introducer slitter for slitting an introducer tube portion having, for example, 5a catheter extending therethrough and into a body vessel while the introducer tube is moved rearwardly relative to the catheter to facilitate separating the introducer from the catheter without having to slide the introducer tube portion over the proximal end of the catheter and a preferred form of an introducer having only one tab. The slitter arcuate section has an inner peripheral wall extending arcuately through an angle of at least about 180° for abutting against the catheter,and a nose portion extendable between the catheter and the introducer tube portions as the introducer is moved axially rearwardly relative to the catheter, a handle section extending radially outwardly of the arcuate section and a radially extending cutting edge for slitting the introducer tube portion. In slitting the introducer, the tab is pulled by one hand while the slitter is held by the other hand.
