ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for guiding a needle where a structure is disposed on an exterior of a sterile sheath to aid in guiding the needle with respect to the transceiver, which transceiver is not yet inserted into the sterile sheath. In one case, the needle guide is attached to the exterior of the sheath; in another, a needle guide adapter is attached to the exterior of the sheath; in still another, an adhesive is attached on the inside of the sheath to assist in attachment with the transceiver. In still another, a temporary adhesive cover is attached to the internal adhesive and is removable upon full insertion of the transceiver into the sheath.
