The proximal portion (20) and the distal portion (30) are longitudinally movable relative to each other. A holder (50) is releasably attached to the body for holding the body in a first state, in which the proximal portion (20) and the distal portion (30) are a first distance apart. Removing the holder (50) from the body allows the body to transition to a second state, in which the proximal portion (20) and the distal portion (30) are a second distance apart. The second distance is greater than the first distance. At least one port (22) extends through the proximal portion (20) and is adapted for the reception of an object. Compressible material defining the at least one port (22) is adapted to deform to establish a substantial sealed relation with the object.1/5 50 22 f1 20 40 FIG. 13/5 50 ~ 22 1 20 40 AMN-3 0 42 32 (~ -4 -,. -g .
