• an intrauterine insemination catheter operable for inseminating a patient with sperm;
• a syringe operable to inject semen into the catheter;
• a cervical plug configured to receive an intrauterine insemination catheter and operable for preventing a semen sample from leaking from a cervical canal into a vaginal cavity of the patient due to reflux caused by contractions of the uterus;
• and
• a positioning tool operable to hold the cervical plug in place while the intrauterine insemination catheter is removed, wherein the positioning tool comprises a handle with a proximal end and a distal end, a stem extending longitudinally from the distal end of said handle and terminating at a bracket, wherein said bracket comprises a bottom segment with two spaced apart segments extending vertically from said bottom segment,
• characterized in that said positioning tool is engageable with but not attached to the cervical plug and is capable of being removed from the cervical plug, leaving the cervical plug in place.
