Abstract

A medical device for inserting into a bodily orifice or cavity of an individual, which includes a first longitudinal hollow body and a second longitudinal hollow body that receives the first hollow body. Between the one end thereof and the first hollow body, there is a stepped transition which extends in the radial direction and can pass into an at least substantially step-free transition by virtue of the fact that the first hollow body, in the region of the stepped transition, expands in the radial direction towards the second hollow body and/or that the second hollow body, in the region of the stepped transition, contracts in the radial direction towards the first hollow body.
