A puncture device guide, comprising:
- a body member configured to fixedly attach to an ultrasound probe;
- a slide member slidingly received within the body member;
- and
- a cradle member slidingly received within the slide member and longitudinally fixed relative to the body member,
- wherein the cradle member is configured to receive a puncture device therein, and
- wherein longitudinal movement of the slide member causes radial movement of the cradle member relative to the body member;
- wherein the body member comprises at least one first path adjustment channel that defines a range of radial and longitudinal movement for the slide member,
- wherein the cradle member comprises at least one second path adjustment channel configured oppositely to the at least first path adjustment channel, and
- wherein the slide member is configured to slidingly engage each of the at least one first path adjustment channel and the at least one second path adjustment channel, wherein the slide member includes at least one first path selection pin configured to be retained within the at least one first path adjustment channel and at least one second path selection pin configured to be retained within the at least one second path adjustment channel, wherein the slide member comprises side rails,
- wherein a first side of the side rails is configured to slidingly engage the body member and a second side of the side rails is configured to slidingly engage the cradle member,
- wherein the at least one first path selection pin is positioned on the first side of the side rails, and
- wherein the at least one second path selection pin is positioned on the second side of the side rails.
