Assembly for deploying a sensor within a bladder

An assembly for deploying a sensor within a bladder of a subject, the sensor comprising a housing having a first housing end and a second housing end, a first endcap secured to the first housing end and comprising a coude tip, a second endcap secured to the second housing end, and a protrusion arranged on the first endcap, the assembly comprising:

• an insertion tool for inserting the sensor through a urethra of the subject and into the subject's bladder, the insertion tool comprising:
• a tubular sheath configured to be inserted through the subject's urethra and at least partially into the subject's bladder, the tubular sheath comprising:
• a first sheath end;
• a second sheath end opposite the first sheath end;
• a sheath length extending between the first and second sheath ends;
• a sheath lumen extending along the sheath length and configured to receive the sensor;
• and
• an opening formed in the tubular sheath at said first sheath end, said opening defining a slot configured to engage the protrusion of the sensor when the sensor is received by the sheath lumen;
• and
• an insertion tool handle arranged at the second sheath end and comprising a hole that is in fluid communication with the sheath lumen;
• wherein engagement of the slot with the protrusion of the sensor causes the sensor to rotate together with the insertion tool handle and the tubular sheath about an axis extending through the sheath lumen, thereby enabling the coude tip of the first endcap to be oriented when inserting the sensor into the subject's bladder;
• and
• a push rod for forcing the sensor out of the sheath lumen and into the subject's bladder, the push rod comprising:
• a stem configured to be inserted through the hole of the insertion tool handle and at least a portion of the sheath lumen, the stem comprising a first stem end and a second stem end opposite the first stem end;
• and
• a push rod handle arranged at the second stem end.
