Abstract
A medical device is disclosed comprising an elongated needle assembly having a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis A, the needle assembly comprises a tubular cannula having a sharpened distal end, a proximal cannula portion, and a longitudinal bore along the longitudinal axis A, and a stylet configured to extend through the bore of the cannula, and having a blunt distal end and a proximal stylet portion. The needle assembly is provided with a spring member configured to urge the stylet in a distal direction along the longitudinal axis, such that the stylet is axially spring-biased in said distal direction. The medical device further comprises a connecting member configured to detachably attach said stylet to said cannula, wherein said stylet is configured to be attached to the tubular cannula by the connecting member such that the blunt distal end protrudes just beyond the sharpened distal end of the cannula when no force is applied to the distal end of the stylet in a proximal direction along said longitudinal axis, and wherein the connecting member is configured to enable detachment of the proximal portions from each other such that the stylet may be fully withdrawn from the longitudinal bore.
