Medical needle

A medical needle apparatus comprising:

• an elongated needle cannula defining a first central axis through a first lumen formed therein, a proximal first end, and a distal first tip for advancement into a body of a patient;
• a needle hub defining a second central axis through a second lumen formed therein, a distal second tip of the hub coupled to the first end of the needle cannula and a proximal second end of the hub defining an open, exposed hub cavity that is in common fluid communication with the first and second lumens;
• a stabilization patch defining a third central axis through a third lumen formed therein, the third lumen circumscribing an outer circumferential surface of the needle cannula, the stabilization patch having a contact surface on a distal third tip thereof for abutting contact with a selected external anchoring site of a patient's body that surrounds a needle entry point, which entry point initiates a penetration pathway of the needle cannula that terminates at a selected needle penetration site within the patient, and a proximal, third end facing the second end of the needle hub, the stabilization patch having an axial length between its third axial tip and its third axial end that is less than a corresponding axial length of the needle cannula, the stabilization patch selectively slidable bidirectionally along the needle cannula from the first distal tip towards the second end of the needle hub;
• and
• the respective first, second and third central axes mutually coaxial with each other.
