Deformable medical implant
摘要:
The present invention comprises a deformable, implantable subcutaneous port for anchoring a transcutaneous treatment component. A port body portion having a normal area port footprint is adapted by means of a port orifice for receiving and anchoring the transcutaneous treatment component beneath the point of entry into the physiology of a patient and for routing the transcutaneous treatment component. The port body portion is produced from a deformable material and has structure and/or composition that provides deformability characteristics of the port such that collapsing, folding, stretching, elongating and/or twisting the port body portion into a modified port shape having a reduced-size port profile enables removal of the port body portion from the physiology of a patient through a relatively small transcutaneous opening.
