Secure port mini max catheter consists of a catheter (small flexible tube). This catheter is attached to a self-sealing silicone septum surrounded by titanium, stainless steel, or plastic (injection port). It is designed to provide repeated access to the vascular system (blood vessels). This port system can be used for administering medications, fluids, and blood products and the withdrawal of blood samples many times. It prevents frequent dressing or site care and minimizes the chance of infection. It is used in patients requiring multiple sites for IV access, long-term chemotherapy, and frequent blood transfusion.
• Long-term chemotherapy, fluids, etc.,
• Frequent blood transfusion or sampling
• Multiple sites for IV access and lacking useable peripheral IV sites
Port is a medical device sutured under the skin, usually in the chest wall. Secure port mini max catheter connects the port to a vein. The port has a septum through which medications can be injected, and blood samples can be drawn repeatedly with less discomfort.
Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all medications cause side effects, not everyone gets them.
• Burning sensation
• Fever
• Unusual drainage from the injected site
