POWERPORT® VUE M.R.I.® Implantable Port Power Injectable Port Features: Soft silicone port body designed for patient comfort Custom port securement Power injectable Premier identification Your Bard® PowerPort® implanted port is a small device (about the size of a quarter). It is used to carry medicine into the bloodstream. The port has one or two small basins that are sealed with a soft silicone top, called a septum. The port is placed under the skin on your chest or arm. The port connects to a small, soft tube called a catheter. The catheter is placed inside one of the large central veins that take blood to your heart. When a special needle is put into the septum, it creates “access” to your bloodstream. Medicine and fluids can be given through the needle and blood samples can be withdrawn. Your port has three bumps on top of each septum. The port with one septum is also shaped like a triangle. These features help the nurse know that your port can be power injected.
