A medical needle including a tubular stylet has one or more apertures at its distal end, which are located and dimensioned to prevent occlusion by body tissue. The aperture may be formed by a convexly sided, transverse channel cut into the needle wall or can face rearwardly. Alternatively, a plurality of spaced, longitudinal slits or circular apertures can be provided by laser perforation. The needle can be associated with an outer cutting sheath housing a trocar for use in ultrasound imaging. In further embodiments, the needle can constitute the stylet of an aspiration biopsy needle or a needle assembly can comprise a stylet within a cannula, the stylet having an expanded distal tip of cross-section complimentary to that of the cannula bore so as to prevent occlusion of the cannula end by tissue.
