Abstract
A one-piece needle guide for use with a medical ultrasonic scanning apparatus to guide a needle. The needle guide includes a body which is adapted to be releasably secured to the scanning apparatus. A tubular channel extends the length of the body on its upper surface. The channel is for engaging and guiding the needle in proper alignment with the scanning apparatus. A pair of flexible lips form the shape of the channel and are adapted to secure the needle in a slidable manner. The flexibility of the lips allow the needle to be removed from the body.
