    摘要: An access port for subcutaneous implantation is disclosed. Such an access port may comprise a body for capturing a septum for repeatedly inserting a needle therethrough into a cavity defined within the body. Further, the access port may include at least one feature structured and configured for identification of the access port subsequent to subcutaneous implantation. Methods of identifying a subcutaneously implanted access port are also disclosed. For example, a subcutaneously implanted access port may be provided and at least one feature of the subcutaneously implanted access port may be perceived. Further, the subcutaneously implanted access port may be identified in response to perceiving the at least one feature. In one embodiment, an identification feature is engraved or otherwise defined by the access port, so as to be visible after implantation via x-ray imaging technology.

    摘要: A tunneler for producing a subcutaneous tunnel in connection with the placement of a catheter within a body of a patient is disclosed. In one embodiment, the tunneler comprises an elongate tunneler member and a sheath. The tunneler member includes a handle on its proximal end and a tapered distal end. The sheath defines an elongate lumen inside which the tunneler member is initially received. The tunneler member is configured to define a tunnel through subcutaneous tissue while disposed in the sheath, then is removable from the sheath lumen thereafter. The sheath is configured to remain within the tunnel so that a catheter can be inserted through the sheath within the tunnel. The sheath is splittable in one embodiment so as to enable its removal from the tunnel while leaving the catheter in place.
