LOW PROFILE, INJECTABLE SUBCUTANEOUS VASCULAR ACCESS SYSTEM AND METHOD

Embodiments are directed to a low profile, injectable port system and associated methods of use. The port can define a port lumen extending between an inlet and an outlet and can include a needle penetrable septum or valve structure. The port stem can couple with a lumen of a catheter and optionally...

Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments are directed to a low profile, injectable port system and associated methods of use. The port can define a port lumen extending between an inlet and an outlet and can include a needle penetrable septum or valve structure. The port stem can couple with a lumen of a catheter and optionally include a cathlock. The diameter, cross-sectional area or shape of the port lumen can substantially equal that of the catheter lumen in a relaxed state. Further the port lumen can define a straight axis and can be aligned with an axis of the catheter lumen. As such, the port can reduce fluid flow resistance between the port and the catheter. The outer profile of the port can substantially equal that of the catheter outer profile. As such, placing the port subcutaneously can require a smaller incision site, improving recovery times and aesthetics.
