Diddler, Needle Adjustment Tool.

The Diddler is a device to adjust the position of transperineal needles as they are implanted through the templates.  The Diddler is constructed of stainless steel and consists of a slender tip and knurled handle.  This tip is constructed such that needles can be adjusted up, down, and sideways, even if there is a needle right next to it.
