Zusammenfassung:A medical device is described that may include a handle and a needle extending distally from the handle. The needle may be configured to be at least partially inserted into a body, and may include a sheath and a core disposed in the sheath. The core may have a distal portion including a distal tip, and a proximal portion distinct from the distal portion. A proximal end of the distal portion may be coupled to a distal end of the proximal portion to define a cavity between the proximal end of the distal portion and the distal end of the proximal portion. The needle may further include a device of a position sensing system arranged in the cavity. The device may be a transmitter device or a receiver device. The position sensing system may be configured to determine a position or an orientation of the distal tip.
