Zusammenfassung:The Port Cover is a soft, thin plastic covering that is used to cover the cream applied to the skin covering an implantable port, prior to treatment. The cream numbs the skin to minimize the pain from the needle insertion into the port when caregivers draw blood, administer treatments and therapies. FIG. 1 is the rounded rectangular version of the Port Cover; FIG. 2 is the perforated Port Cover. FIG. 3 is the circle design, FIG. 4 is the trapezoid design, and FIG. 5 is the square design. The varied designs will accommodate the need and preference of the patient.
