Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention is a disposable/reusable needle guide which can be: (a) utilized with many ultrasound probes; (b) attached and detached from such ultrasound probes easily and rapidly; and (c) utilized with biopsy needles. In particular, an embodiment of the present invention is a needle guide for use with an ultrasound probe which includes: (a) a clip for detachably affixing the needle guide to the ultrasound probe; (b) a clip lock for detachably locking the clip to securely affix the needle guide to the ultrasound probe; (c) a needle support, affixed to the clip, for supporting and positioning a needle; and (d) a needle cap, detachably affixed to the needle support, for supporting and positioning the needle; wherein the needle support and the needle cap include a snap locking for detachably affixing the needle support and the needle cap to each other.
