摘要:
A position guidance system for minimally invasive medical procedures includes a medical device having a first end configured for percutaneous insertion and a second end configured to remain exterior to a patients skin, a hub connection provided at the second end of the medical device, at least one bubble level including a bubble configured to provide a visual indication of a deviation from a target angle for medical device insertion, and a connector configured to reversibly and repeatedly connect the bubble level to the hub connection of the medical device. When the bubble is positioned at a center of the bubble level, an actual insertion angle of the medical device is the same as the target angle. When the bubble is positioned off-center of the bubble level, the actual insertion angle of the medical device deviates from the target angle.
