Abstract
A delivery system for delivering a sensor to a body cavity includes a catheter and sheath slidably or rotatably coupled to the catheter. The sheath may be retractable and peelable. The delivery device may include an expandable balloon or a crushable material capable of moving the sensor laterally away from the catheter, to the target site. One embodiment of the delivery system includes a deployment device comprising a cord operably engaged with a pulley, and attached at the distal end to a cap engaged with the sensor. Another embodiment of the delivery system comprises a catheter having a chamber that can accommodate the sensor, and a sheath slidably coupled to the exterior of the catheter, and covering the chamber when the sheath is in the closed position. Further included is a method of delivering a sensor to a body cavity using any of the embodiments of the delivery system.
