Claim 0:
1. A vascular closure device assembly, comprising:
a sheath comprising:
a sheath main body defining a channel therethrough, the sheath main body comprising a beveled distal end that comprises a tip and is configured to be inserted into a vessel,
a sheath engagement portion, and
a sheath mounting portion located at a proximal end of the sheath main body;

a housing, wherein the sheath mounting portion is secured within the housing such that the sheath is rotatable relative to the housing, and such that the housing inhibits axial displacement of the sheath relative to the housing; and
a dilator comprising:
a dilator main body, and
a dilator engagement portion extending from the dilator main body towards the sheath,

wherein the dilator engagement portion is configured to engage the sheath engagement portion such that axial displacement of the dilator relative to the sheath causes the sheath to rotate relative to the housing;
wherein the housing is configured to inhibit axial displacement of the sheath during rotation; and
wherein the assembly is movable between (i) a first configuration in which the dilator engagement portion engages the sheath engagement portion at a first position, and the tip of the beveled distal end is located in a first rotational position, and (ii) a second configuration in which the dilator engagement portion engages the sheath engagement portion at a second position that is proximal the first position, and the tip of the beveled distal end is located in a second rotational position that is rotationally offset from the first rotational position.
