ABSTRACT:
An elongated aspirating needle guide made of flexible plastic such as polypropylene and an elongated flexible aspirating needle having a medial plastic tubular portion made of PVC and terminating at ends with metallic needle portions. The guide has a base portion and an upper portion and has an elongated opening through the upper portion which receives the elongated aspirating needle. The opening in the elongated guide terminates short of the distal end of the guide. The base portion of the guide is wider than the upper portion and the base portion also extends distally from the upper portion. The distal end of the base portion is adapted to overlie the inner surface of the operator's finger adjacent the distal end of the finger of the operator who will utilize the device so that the flexible base portion protects the inner surface of the finger while being sufficiently thin enough to allow tactile palpation to be conducted through the distal end of the base portion. When the needle projects from the distal end of the elongated opening, it will impinge upon the distal end of the base portion allowing the operator to be protected from the needle while at the same time directing the needle into the desired palpated area from which a biopsy will be taken.
