Abstract
The invention provides an insertion device for insertion of conduits into a body that, before and following deployment of the conduit into the body, has no components that require insertion into or removal from the device. Additionally, the device includes a component that not only prevents re-use or reopening of the device once it is activated, but also provides feedback to the user in the form of a resistance force to activation that must be overcome by the user to deploy the conduit.
