Surgery needle support member

A syringe assembly configured to urge soft tissue out of a surgical path, the syringe assembly comprising:

• a syringe having a syringe barrel, a needle with a needle tip and a plunger movably mounted in the syringe barrel, the syringe defining a longitudinal axis;
• an elongate support member having an inner surface, a proximal end and a distal end, the elongate support member having an arcuate-shaped cross-section, a support stop extending away from the inner surface toward the longitudinal axis in a mounted configuration;
• and
• a securing member fixed near the proximal end of the elongate support member, the securing member configured to attach the elongate support member to the barrel, the securing member including a first clip and a second clip spaced from the first clip, the support stop positioned between the second clip and the distal end, a support length defined between the second clip and the distal end, a tip length defined between the second clip and the needle tip in the mounted configuration, the tip length being greater than the support length when the syringe assembly is in an injection configuration and the support stop is contacting the barrel.
