Implanted Ports - What Are They?
Implanted ports, alternately known as port-a-caths or subcutaneous ports, are medical devices that make it easier for healthcare professionals to access a vein, and to administer treatments to patients. These devices are implanted under the skin to deliver medication directly to the veins of the patient.
While they have proved quite effective for treating certain conditions, they have also increasingly been shown to pose a risk. When an implanted port malfunctions, it may leak medicine into the body at an uncontrolled rate. This can cause complications like infection and has resulted in the death of some unfortunate patients.
