Abstract:
A system of medical devices includes a needle, an endoscope, and an introducer. The needle extends between a needle proximal portion and a needle distal portion having a puncturing tip. The endoscope extends between an endoscope proximal portion and an endoscope distal portion having a camera. The introducer is for guiding the needle and the endoscope towards a target location. The introducer extends between an introducer proximal portion and an introducer distal portion and has a first lumen extending therethrough from the introducer proximal portion to the introducer distal portion and a second lumen extending therethrough from the introducer proximal portion to the introducer distal portion. The needle is advanceable through the first lumen to position the puncturing tip proud of the introducer distal portion and the endoscope is advanceable through the second lumen to position the camera proximate the introducer distal portion and outside of the lumen.
