<p>A port, which may be used with a gastric banding assembly, having a septum therein that is subjected to multi-directional compression forces to aid in sealing imperfections caused by multiple needle sticks. Multi-directional compression forces, including axial compression and radial compression, may be created by providing a tapered septum. Such multi-directional compression forces may also be created by providing a tapered lead-in for inserting a septum into a port body.</p> |
