VASCULAR ACCESS PORT SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

In certain systems disclosed herein, one or more of a first vascular access port and a second vascular access port can be selected by a customer. Each of the first and second vascular access ports can be implanted subcutaneously within a patient, and each can include a base configured to be attached to a vessel, a body that extends away from the base, and a guidance passageway that extends through the body and the base and includes a funnel region. A maximum height defined by the base and body of the second vascular access port can be greater than a maximum height defined by the base and body of the first vascular access port.

1. A system from which one or more of a first vascular access port and a second vascular access port can be selected by a customer, the system comprising:
the first vascular access port, which is configured to be implanted subcutaneously within a patient and comprises:
a base configured to be attached to a vessel that is at a first depth within a patient;a body that extends away from the base, the base and the body defining a first maximum height; anda guidance passageway that extends through the body and the base and comprises a funnel region that comprises an entry mouth of which at least a portion is spaced from the base, wherein the guidance passageway decreases in size from the entry mouth toward the base; and the second vascular access port, which is configured to be implanted subcutaneously within a patient and comprises:
a base configured to be attached to a vessel that is at a second depth within a patient that is greater than the first depth;a body that extends away from the base, the base and the body defining a second maximum height that is greater than the first maximum height; anda guidance passageway that extends through the body and the base and comprises a funnel region that comprises an entry mouth of which at least a portion is spaced from the base, wherein the guidance passageway decreases in size from the entry mouth toward the base.
