NEEDLE GUIDE DEVICES FOR MOUNTING ON IMAGING TRANSDUCERS OR ADAPTORS ON IMAGING TRANSDUCER, IMAGING TRANSDUCERS FOR MOUNTING NEEDLE GUIDE DEVICES AND ADAPTORS FOR IMAGING TRANSDUCERS FOR MOUNTING NEEDLE GUIDE DEVICES THEREON

摘要

A needle guide to retain a needle at a desired trajectory with respect to an imaging transducer includes a body member, a needle holder subassembly, and a slide member. The needle holder subassembly is pivotably mounted on the body member to enable the needle holder subassembly to be oriented to various selected orientations with respect to the body member. The slide member is slidably coupled to each of the body member and the needle holder subassembly, such that movement of the slide member relative to the body member moves the needle holder subassembly between the various selected orientations.
