A rigid, non-powered device designed to direct a sharp needle (not included) into its proper course when performing a clinical and/or surgical procedure; the guide itself is not intended for percutaneous access (not a guide-catheter). Dedicated needle guides are available for different procedures such as urethral injections, image-guided (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) transrectal/transperineal prostate biopsy or ablation, endocavity IVF procedures, percutaneous punctures, nerve blocks, electromagnetic device tracking surgery, and stereotactic breast biopsies. Procedural supportive devices (e.g., ultrasound transducer cover/sheath, drape) may be included with the device. This is a single-use device.
