Delivering liquid compositions to an interior site in the body. More particularly, the invention provides devices, systems, and methods for facilitating percutaneous access to an implanted port for performing peritoneal dialysis in a sterile condition. In one aspect the invention provides an apparatus for use in peritoneal dialysis comprising a first container (30), and a second container (50) wherein at least one of the containers is filled with unused dialysis fluid. The first and second containers (30, 50) are fluidly coupled by a first tube (31), and a second tube (51) to a junction (40). A single common tube (60) fluidly coupled to the junction provides a fluid pathway to a percutaneous access member (20) connected to the end of the single common tube (60). The access member (20) has a minimun bore diameter of 1.16 mm capable of providing high volumetric flow rates. |
