Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure include a tissue and/or access device that allows for adjustability of placement of a needle for accessing a blood vessel of an individual in need thereof, particularly when used with an imaging device. The adjustability originates from both angle of the needle for insertion into the body of the individual and longitudinal placement of the needle on the body of the individual. In specific embodiments, a needle guide through which the needle traverses is detachable.
