An apparatus and method for placement of a tubular body in the urethra. The tubular body includes a proximal portion adapted for placement toward a bladder end and bladder neck end of the urethra and a distal portion opposite from the proximal portion. A sensor component located on the tubular body is responsive to a feature of the urethra and outputs a first signal indicating proper placement of the proximal portion of the tubular body relative to the bladder and bladder neck. Preferably an insertion tool is used during positioning of the urethral apparatus. The insertion tool is coupled to the distal end of the urethral apparatus and is used to push the urethral apparatus proximally in the urethra. The first signal can be transmitted from the urethral apparatus through the insertion tool from which it is perceivable by the person positioning the urethral device. Upon proper placement the insertion tool is decoupled from the urethral apparatus and withdrawn leaving the urethral apparatus in place in the urethra with the proximal portion properly positioned relative to the bladder neck and bladder.

Appareil et méthode pour l'introduction d'un instrument cylindrique dans l'urètre. Cet instrument comprend une partie proximale permettant son positionnement dans la vessie et au niveau du col vésical et une partie distale qui lui est opposée. Un capteur situé dans l'instrument réagit à un élément de l'urètre et émet un premier signal indiquant que la partie proximale de l'instrument est bien placée par rapport à la vessie et au col vésical. On utilise de préférence un dispositif de mise en place pour son installation. Ce dispositif est placé à l'extrémité distale de l'instrument urétral et sert à le faire avancer par la partie proximale dans l'urètre. Le premier signal peut être transmis par l'instrument urétral grâce au dispositif de mise en place qui permet à la personne qui installe l'instrument urétral de le percevoir. Dès que l'instrument est bien positionné, le dispositif de mise en place est détaché de l'instrument urétral et retiré en laissant l'instrument urétral dans l'urètre, la partie proximale bien placée par rapport au col de la vessie et à la vessie.
