摘要:
Exemplary insertion tools for facilitating insertion of an electrode array into a bodily orifice include a stylet assembly having a stylet configured to be inserted into a lumen of the electrode array, a slide assembly configured to at least partially house the stylet assembly, and a handle assembly configured to engage at least a portion of the slide assembly. The slide assembly may be configured to selectively disengage from the handle assembly. The stylet assembly may be configured to selectively disengage from the slide assembly while the stylet is still inserted into the lumen of the electrode array. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.
