Medical needle placement device and methods of using the same

A method for positioning and inserting a needle assembly into a patient using a needle placement device, comprising:

• (a) performing an initial session of a medical activity involving the use of the needle assembly, comprising:
• (a1) placing a bottom surface of a base of the needle placement device on the patient with a front end of the base adjacent to a desired needle insertion site on the patient,
• (a2) placing the needle assembly on a sloped surface of a needle guidance protrusion of the needle placement device,
• (a3) pushing the needle assembly down the sloped surface to push a needle of the needle assembly through a needle channel of the needle placement device disposed adjacent to the front end of the base to ultimately insert the tip of the needle into the insertion site to form an insertion puncture with the needle in the skin of the patient at an angle of insertion defined by the sloped surface,
• (a4) marking, using a marking device, adjacent to each of a plurality of positioning features on the base to create a mark on the patient's skin associated with each of the plurality of positioning features,
• (a5) performing the medical activity on the patient using the needle inserted in the insertion puncture, and
• (a6) removing the needle from the insertion puncture and the needle placement device in response to the medical activity being completed;
• and
• (b) performing a subsequent session associated with the medical activity, comprising:
• (b1) placing the needle placement device on the patient by aligning each of the plurality of positioning features with its associated mark made on the patient's skin in step (a2), and
• (b2) repeating steps (a3) through (a6) to ensure the needle is inserted into the same insertion puncture at the same angle of insertion as performed in the initial session.
