The inserter also comprises a force sensor () arranged between the insertion tube and the handle. The insertion tube is partially arranged inside the force sensor in such a manner that when force is exerted on the insertion tube along its longitudinal direction, the insertion tube is arranged to move with respect to the force sensor.

Inserter for an intrauterine system

The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising an intrauterine system, an inserter for the intrauterine system and a package for the inserter.

Arrangement for an intrauterine system and its inserter

Disclosed are an inserter and an inserter kit for an intrauterine system. The inserter comprises an insertion tube having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the first end is operable to removably receive the intrauterine system and a handle having a first end portion and an opposite second end portion, the first end portion of the handle is coupled to the second end of the insertion tube. The handle comprises a handling mechanism for controlling movement of the insertion tube with respect to the intrauterine system. The inserter also comprises an indicating mechanism operatively arranged in connection with the insertion tube and the handle, the indicating mechanism is communicably coupled to the handling mechanism and is operable to provide indicative signals corresponding to operational stages of the inserter. The indicative signals comprise at least one light signal and the indicating mechanism comprises a power source.

An intelligent medical implant and monitoring system includes an implant with a communication device, an inserter for inserting the implant, a reader that operates to broadcast a signal specific to the particular communication device that causes the communication device to respond with a unique identifier, and an external database for storing and providing access to information keyed to the unique identifier of the communication device.
