Abstract:
1. A guiding and positioning device for guiding and positioning a bore needle into a specific position within a vein of a patient or person, the device comprising: a web body defining first and second non-parallel opposite sides; a first body fixed to the first side of the web body; a first needle defining a distal end configured for entering the vein of the patient or person, and a proximal end fixed to the first body, said first needle being configured to provide fluid communication from the vein to the first body; a second body fixed to the second side of the web body and configured for co-axially receiving and supporting the bore needle, said second body and said bore needle including positioning means for orienting the bore needle in a fixed rotational position in the second body, said second body defining a first angle between the first needle and the bore needle when said bore needle is received in the second body, the vertex of said first angle being defined by the distal end of the first needle and the distal end of the bore needle, whereby both the first needle and the bore needle, for any value of the first angle, enter the vein of the patient in said specific position; and an aperture at the distal end of the bore needle defining a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the bore needle, said aperture opening substantially in the longitudinal direction of the first needle when the bore needle is received in the second body.
