ABSTRACT:
A finger mountable surgical needle guide
eedle protector. The guide includes an elongate body divided by a flangible web into two segments. A needle-receiving lumen extends through the body for holding a needle protectively sheathed prior to a surgical procedure, and for guiding the needle slidably during such a procedure. A needle is guided under a circumstance with the two body segments separated, and with only one of these segments then employed. An end of this employed segment acts to assist a surgeon in controlling the depth of needle penetration. Extending from the distal end of the procedure-employed body segment is an elongate, touch-sensitive paper ribbon which extends over the finger tip and allows a surgeon easily to feed for an anomaly which is to be investigated.
