Embodiments of the disclosure include a tissue and/or access device that allows for adjustability of placement of a needle for accessing a blood vessel of an individual in need thereof, particularly when used with an imaging device. The adjustability originates from both angle of the needle for insertion into the body of the individual and longitudinal placement of the needle on the body of the individual. In specific embodiments, a needle guide through which the needle traverses is detachable.

Image-guided tissue access device

The present disclosure concerns hyperthermic devices for treating vascular involvements related to cancer therapies, such as surgery. In specific embodiments, the device is configured to provide therapeutic heating to destroy vessel-encasing tumors while still protecting the vessel itself. In particular embodiments, the devices utilize two opposing semi-cylindrical shells that encase the vessel in need of treatment of a tumor thereon. In other devices, a flexible substrate is guided under and around the vessel and tumor thereon.
