ABSTRACT:
A needle and stylus system. The system has a hollow tubular needle formed of a rigid material. The needle has an elongated linear intermediate section constituting the majority of the length of the needle and with a curved distal section terminating in an oval opening. A bore is formed through the intermediate and distal sections of an essentially common diameter and the oval opening at the distal end is located in a plane essentially parallel with the axis of the intermediate section and spaced from the exterior surface of the intermediate section. The needle also has a proximal end formed as a radially exterior enlargement with an enlarged cylindrical bore. A tubular stylet has an elongated linear intermediate section and a curved distal section with an oval planar face positionable at the opening at the distal end of the needle when the stylet is inserted within the needle. The style also has a semi-cylindrical section between the intermediate section and the distal section to allow the bending thereof as the styler is moved into the needle with its distal section approaching the distal section of the needle. The stylet has a proximal end with an exterior radial enlargement to be grasped by an operator and an intermediate radial enlargement receivable within the enlarged cylindrical bore at the proximal end of the needle.
