<p>A system for attaching an access port to bodily tissue includes an access port assembly and including an access port having a generally central axis (52). The access port assembly further includes an attachment mechanism structured to enable the access port to be attached, for example, to an abdominal muscle of a patient. The delivery tool (30) includes a handle (90) having a generally longitudinal axis (92) and a delivery head (96) structured to engage the access port assembly, and an activation mechanism (98) for enabling deployment of the attachment mechanism when the delivery head is so engaged with the access port assembly. The delivery tool is configured such that the longitudinal axis of the handle is spaced apart from the generally central axis of the access port when the delivery head is so engaged with the access port assembly.</p> |
