Abstract
Abstract A hypodermic needle connector including a needle holder for holding a hypodermic needle by a coil of wire and a wire connector that allows non-complex correction to a nerve electro finder lead wire for providing a positive electrical connection between the power source and the tip of a hypodermic needle. The wire connector includes mating a male and female wire coil portions. The hypodermic needle connector may also be used to limit the depth of penetration of a hypodermic needle shaft into the tissues by connecting the hypodermic needle into the smaller end of the needle holder. Further, the hypodermic needle connector may be connected to an EKG pad for convenient location by connecting the smaller end to the EKG pad. The hypodermic needle connector includes two parts of spring wound stainless steel wire with a first part having a needle holder, a link and a female mating connection and a second part, a male mating portion for connecting an electrical wire to the hypodermic needle.
