Understanding Chemo Ports: Reliable access for medium- and long-term drug infusion

What is a Chemo Port?

A chemo port [https://www.teamstandmedical.com/chemo-port-implantable-port-kit-product/]is a small, implanted medical device [https://www.teamstandmedical.com/products/] used for patients undergoing chemotherapy. It is designed to provide a long-term, reliable way to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly into a vein, minimizing the need for repeated needle insertions. The device is placed under the skin, usually in the chest or upper arm, and connects to a central vein, making it easier for healthcare providers to administer treatments and take blood samples.

Components of a Chemo Port

Chemo ports can be circular, triangular or oval-shaped, depending on the brand of port your surgeon places. There are three main parts to a chemo port:

- Port: The main part of the device, where healthcare providers inject fluids.

- Septum: The center part of the port, made from a self-sealing rubber material.

- Catheter: A thin, flexible tube that connects your port to your vein.

Two Main Types of Chemo Ports: Single Lumen and Double Lumen

There are two primary types of chemo ports based on the number of lumens (channels) they have. Each type has specific benefits depending on the patient's treatment needs:

1. Single Lumen Port - A single lumen port has one catheter and is used when only one type of treatment or medication needs to be administered. It is simpler and typically less expensive than double lumen ports. This type is ideal for patients who do not require frequent blood draws or multiple infusions simultaneously.

2. Double Lumen Port - A double lumen port has two separate catheters within a single port, allowing for the simultaneous delivery of two different medications or treatments, such as chemotherapy and blood draws. This feature makes it more versatile, especially for patients undergoing complex treatment regimens that involve multiple therapies or require regular blood sampling.
