Template grid
The present invention relates to a medical device guide, such as a template guide. The device guide includes a frame a frame having a plurality of network supports. A wire network is supported by the network supports thereby forming a plurality of meshes. A medical device may be inserted through one of the meshes to guide a position of the medical device.
1. A medical device guide, comprising:
a frame comprising a plurality of network supports; and
a wire network supported by the network supports, the wire network forming a plurality of meshes, whereby a medical device may be inserted through one of the meshes to guide the medical device:
wherein the wire network is formed by wrapping a wire around the frame to form a grid, said network being removable from the frame so as to be replaced by a new wire network wrapped around the frame.
2. The medical device guide of claim 1 , wherein the medical device is a device for positioning a radioactive seed with respect to a prostate.
3. The medical device guide of claim 1 , wherein the network supports comprise at least one slot for frictionably securing a wire of the wire network.
4. The medical device guide of claim 1 , wherein a wire of the wire network is suture.
5. The medical device guide of claim 1 , wherein the wire network may be removed from the frame and replaced with a second wire network.
