Abstract
A medical procedure kit is disclosed. Preferably, the medical procedure kit includes at least a frame configured to communicate with a body of a patient, an instrument positioning assembly supported by the frame, and means for advancing an instrument confined by the instrument positioning assembly into the body of the patient. Preferably, the medical procedure kit further includes an instrument carrier positioned between the instrument and the means for advancing the instrument. The instrument carrier preferably secures the instrument in a fixed position relative to the carrier, and the frame preferably includes a base portion configured to maintain the instrument positioning assembly in a stable position relative to the patient's body. The medical procedure kit preferably further includes a position adjustment member anchored by the frame and configured for interaction with the instrument positioning assembly to selectively position the instrument positioning assembly relative to the base portion of the frame.
