A sheath remover device 18 is of elongate tubular form having a sheath capture region 20 at one end and a passage along which a captured sheath may pass from the capture region. A plurality of latching fingers 22 each with an internally directed latch 24 are equi-spaced in the capture region. Two further inwardly directed latches are provided on the cut out regions 32. The sheath remover is designed so that, a sheath already disposed in the sheath capture region is pushed along the passage away from the sheath capture region when the remover is offered up to and engages the subsequent sheath. The spacing of the latches 24 and 34 is such that the earlier sheath is not released from latches 34 until the latches 24 have securely engaged in the subsequent sheath, thereby providing an indication of secure engagement of the subsequent sheath. The sheath remover may also be used as a cap and/or a cocking rod.
