  • TISSUE ACCESS DEVICE WITH ALIGNMENT GUIDE AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20100023065
    Abstract: An access assembly for use during a medical procedure including accessing a selected bone structure or target tissue, includes a cannula and stylet with an alignment guide removably attached to the cannula. The alignment guide shows the relative alignment between the access assembly and the viewing axis of an imaging system, thereby making placement of the access assembly more accurate. Once a desired alignment is achieved, the access assembly may then be advanced further towards the target tissue until a desired placement is achieved.
