<p>A ureteral stent assembly includes a ureteral stent (110) having a distal end portion (112), a proximal end portion (114), and a medial end portion (116). The ureteral stent assembly also includes an elongate positioner (120) for positioning the ureteral stent (110) within the body of the patient. The positioner (120) includes a distal end portion (122), a proximal end portion (124), and a medial end portion (126). A coupling mechanism (130) configured to removably or releasably couple the ureteral stent (110) to the elongate positioner (120) is located on at least one of the distal end portion of the ureteral stent (110), the medial portion (116) of the ureteral stent (110), the distal end portion (122) of the positioner (120), and the medial portion (126) of the positioner (120).</p> |
