A device and method for a guidance sheath is provided which is configured to prevent laceration or puncture of nerves, blood vessels and surrounding tissue, during positioning of a coaxially located needle employed for various medical procedures, such as, the administration of an anesthetic blockade, neuromonitoring, electromyography or a therapeutic intervention. The body of the sheath may be electrically conductive to allow communication of electric current to exposed portions of an exterior surface of the body of the device which are not coated with an insulation.
