Results for tag: "Implanted Port"

An implanted port is a type of catheter used for long-term access to the vascular system. It is surgically placed under the skin and connected to a vein, allowing for repeated access to the bloodstream. Implanted ports are commonly used for chemotherapy, antibiotics, and other medications, as well as for blood draws and other treatments. They are also used for parenteral nutrition, which is the delivery of nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Implanted ports are designed to be durable and long-lasting, and they are typically made of silicone or polyurethane. They are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and they can be used with a variety of catheters. The port is accessed through a small incision in the skin, and a needle is inserted into the port to access the vein. Implanted ports are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and safety. They are also cost-effective, as they can be used multiple times without the need for replacement. Some companies in the implanted port market include Bard Access Systems, B. Braun, and Cook Medical. Show Less Read more
