Chemoport :
A chemo port is a small device that is usually implanted on the chest of a cancer patient. It may also be implanted on the abdomen or arm. The device is connected to a body via a thin silicone tube that is inserted into a vein. A chemo port removes the necessity of using needles to draw blood or provide injections or infusions. The device can make chemotherapy a little more comfortable.
Inserting a chemo port into the body requires surgery. The procedure begins by putting the patient to sleep using anaesthesia. Then, the individual is cut open to access a vein such as the subclavian vein, and a catheter is inserted into it. Next, the surgeon makes a small pouch in the bottom layer of the skin and positions the chemo port in it. Finally, the catheter is connected to the chemoport, and the patient is stitched and bandaged.
