Abstract: The invention is a needle guide for performing intracorporeal location of a puncture needle to be percutaneously introduced into a patient, comprising an upper plate element, which face away from the patient, and a lower plate element, which faces the patient. The plate elements are rigidly spaced apart from one another and each provide through holes through which the puncture needle is guided. The invention has an upper and lower plate element which is separatable into at least two plate element parts, which, when joined together, commonly surround all of the through holes for each plate element.
