La présente invention concerne par conséquent un outil d'assistance (10) qui comprend : un corps principal en forme de feuille (20) ayant une flexibilité ; une unité d'imagerie radiographique (30) qui est fournie au corps principal et s'étend dans une direction de plan croisant la direction de l'épaisseur du corps principal ; et une unité d'affichage de position d'insertion (40) qui est fournie au corps principal à une distance prédéterminée de l'unité d'imagerie radiographique, et indique une position pour l'insertion de l'élément de ponction dans un corps vivant, une telle position étant déterminée selon le rayon de courbure de l'élément de ponction.
