A bone marrow aspiration apparatus comprising a hollow needle having a penetrating end and a distal end, a stylet having a penetrating end and a distal end, the stylet being removably positioned within said needle; a cylindrical threaded section; a depth gauge threadedly engagable with and movable longitudinally along the threaded section, the depth gauge having a proximal end and a distal annular end, the proximal end being spaced a variable first distance from the penetrating end of the hollow needle; a locking nut threadedly engagable with sand movable longitudinally along the threaded section; a cap connection section having a fluid fitting therein; a cap having an interior space, the cap being engagable with the cap connection and engaged with the stylet, the cap having a distal end closed by a distal endwall, an open proximal end, and a sidewall extending between the distal end and the proximal end; wherein the threaded section and the depth gauge define a stylet passage between the fluid fitting of the cap connection and the proximal end of the depth gauge; and wherein the variable first distance between the penetrating end of the hollow needle and the proximal end of the depth gauge corresponds to a position of the distal annular end of the depth gauge relative to the threaded section. |
