L25 Needle Guide Bracket

Reason

During the attachment of the needle guide to the bracket over a cover, the interaction of the needle guide and bracket snapping together can cause a puncture or tear in the cover. Breaching the cover provides the risk of cross contamination of the reusable ultrasound transducer as well as the patient.
