a kit to facilitate self - placement of an incontinence prevention device within the urethra includes a deployment base member , a deployment tube , a deployment pusher along with the incontinence prevention device in a sterile pack . the base member includes a rigid shaft of a predetermined length having a finger grip member at one end and a hook member at its opposite end . the shaft of the base member is adapted to fit through the lumen of the deployment tube with the hook projecting out from a proximal end of the deployment tube and with the hook engaging a retention loop on the incontinence prevention device when in its sterile package . upon removal of the kit components , the deployment tube is slid off the deployment base member and , in doing so , the incontinence prevention device becomes loaded into the deployment tube . the pusher is then used to urge the incontinence prevention device from the deployment tube into the urethra .
