Abstract

A flexible sensor configured for use in a bladder is flexible and moveable from a first position in which it is configured to not be discharged from the bladder to a second position in which it is configured to be inserted into the bladder. A sensor insertion tool includes an over sheath, a push rod configured to be inserted into a first lumen of the over sheath. The flexible sensor is positioned in the first lumen of the over sheath, the push rod is then inserted partially into the over sheath behind the flexible sensor. The sensor insertion tool is then positioned at a location, such as the opening to the bladder, in which the sensor is to be deployed.
