Abstract
A device is described for marking a path on a skin surface for inserting an epidural needle into an epidural space. The device includes a first arm having one or more holes spaced apart along the length of the first arm. A pin is attached at the proximal end of the first arm. A second arm has a proximal end attached to the pin allowing the first and second arms to rotate about the pin to adjust an angle separating the first and second arms. The second arm has one or more holes spaced apart along the length of the second arm. The holes on the first and second arms provide locations for marking the path on the skin surface to insert the epidural needle.
