Dedicated needle guides are available for many different procedures such as urethral injections, image-guided (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) transrectal/transperineal prostate biopsy or ablation, percutaneous punctures, nerve blocks, electromagnetic device tracking surgery, and stereotactic breast biopsies. Procedural supportive devices (e.g., ultrasound transducer cover/sheath, drape) may be included with the device. This is a single-use device.)
