An adapter is provided for use in connecting to a percutaneous introducer of arbitrary dimensions, where the adapter comprises a tapered threaded section ( 4 ). The tapered threaded section is screwed (and/or inserted) into the introducer and will thereby tightly grip the inner walls of the introducer. In one embodiment the adapter is provided as the distal section of a new introducer ( 3 ), required for a subsequent medical procedure. In another embodiment, the adapter is provided as an integral part of a medical device ( 16 ), such as an insertion tool for a closure device. In a further embodiment the distal end ( 30 ) of the tapered threaded section ( 24 ) is extended beyond the distal end of the introducer.
