<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for implanting an injection port for implantation, permitting puncture of a hypodermic needle regardless of the direction of the injection port to be self-sealed when the needle is pulled out. <P>SOLUTION: The method for hypodermically implanting the injection port to be used together with a medical apparatus for implantation is provided. The method comprises a step for preparing the injection port comprising a first end part, a second end part, a wall part extending between the end parts to be self-sealed after the puncture, a substantially soft and flexible slender body with a fluid reservoir surrounded by the wall part, and a flexible slender tube catheter attached to the slender body to communicate with the reservoir. The method also comprises a step for forming an incision part inside the body of a patient, a step for accessing a subcutaneous fat layer of the patient via the incision part, and a step for implanting the injection port in the subcutaneous fat layer by forming a space in the subcutaneous fat layer so that the injection port can be confirmed by the palpation from outside. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
