ABSTRACT:
This device employs an elastic, thin walled tubular member which can be a finger receiving and enclosing portion of a rubber glove or a rubber finger cot. The tubular member has a closed end for engaging the wearer's fingertip and an open end through which extends a flexible tube having a beveled end secured to the inner side of the closed end of the tubular member. The tube extends through a palmar portion of the glove or along the palm of the wearer of the cot, where an external portion of the tube is exposed for insertion of a biopsy needle. The tube has an axial passage through which a biopsy needle can be guided to pierce the closed end of the tubular member and a site inside a body cavity being palpated by the wearer, while the needle pierces the site to remove a sample of tissue to be examined after the needle is withdrawn from the tube. The external portion of the tube can be grasped by other fingers of the wearer's hand to stabilize the tube against movement while the biopsy needle is being inserted and removed by the wearer's other hand.
