A device that guides the percutaneous delivery of a medical device to a target spatial location on or within tissue, the device comprising:
- a circular positioning ring comprising a vertical receiving channel and a horizontal receiving channel;
- a rotational element comprising a cap and a flange received by and engaged with the vertical receiving channel and horizontal receiving channel, respectively, where the vertical receiving channel and horizontal receiving channel meet at an intersection;
- a directional element mated with the cap of the rotational element and configured to be operably coupled to the circular positioning ring;
- and
- a coupling mechanism comprising a base portion and a shaft having an end mated to the cap of the rotational element, where a rotational force applied to the rotational element causes the flange to rotate in the horizontal receiving channel.
