A port for implantation within a body, comprises a housing having a proximal surface, a distal surface and a side surface wherein, when the port is implanted within a body in a desired orientation, the proximal surface faces outward toward the skin, the distal surface faces inward away from the skin and the side surface extends between the proximal and distal surfaces and a first well formed within the housing, the first well including a first opening in the proximal surface. A second well is formed in the housing adjacent to the first well and has a second opening formed in the proximal surface. First and second outlet openings formed on the side surface of the port are in fluid communication with the first and second wells, respectively, and are separated from one another by a distance substantially equal to a distance separating lumens of a dual lumen catheter to which the port is to be connected. In addition, a method of infusing fluids to a patient, comprises attaching a dual lumen catheter to a blood vessel of the patient and implanting subcutaneously a port including first and second openings separated by a distance substantially equal to a distance between the dual lumens of the catheter, wherein the first opening is in fluid communication with a first well of the port and the second opening is in fluid communication with a second well of the port. The dual lumen catheter is then connected to the first and second openings of the port and a first fluid is provided to the first well while a second fluid is provided to the second well.
