A hollow needle, for use in medical and other areas where thin hollow needles are used to inject or aspirate fluids and gases, is provided and comprises of a thin, rigid tube body that is open on both ends and throughout the length with one sharp end. A flexible section is provided, either as part of the needle or as an addition at its proximal end allowing the needle to be oriented such that the needle central axis is non-colinear and non parallel to the central axis of the needling system. Depending upon the desired use, needle orientation relative to the central axis can be limited from a conical volume to a planar or multi planar angular orientations. The needling system so configured advantageously allows the user to circumvent an obstacle and or obstacles that otherwise inhibit direct linear access to a point-of-interest by providing a device that can fit around or between obstructions providing optimal direct path towards the desired therapy delivery point.
