    Abstract: An assembly for facilitating ultrasonic visualization of positioning of a needle inserted into tissue includes a needle that is inserted into a sheath to define a transport channel between an outer surface of the needle and an inner surface of the sheath for transport of a fluid that is introduced into the sheath. The transport channel includes features that induce formation of ultrasonically visible features from the fluid.
