The TITAN-PORT F is a fully implantable port catheter system. It consists of an injection chamber (port chamber) with a twist and screw closure mechanism and a self-closing silicone membrane and a polyurethane catheter. The system also comes with a special puncture cannula SFN 0720 S, a 20 G puncture cannula, an insertion cannula (18 G), instructions for use and an implantation card.
Additional information Catheter: The polyurethane catheter (1.92 French) with an outer diameter of 0.64 mm, an inner diameter of 0.42 mm, a total length of 40 cm and with an internal guide wire and can be individually shortened distally to the respective required length before connection to the corresponding port chamber. The catheter has radiopaque markings up to a length of 25 cm per cm. The proximal end of the catheter has a rounded opening at the tip. Five centimetres from the proximal end of the catheter, a small fixation ring (lock) is attached to counteract dislocation from the uterus.
The TITAN-PORT F ensures the repeated access to:
A: Cavum uteri (Amnion)B: to the vascular system of the umbilical cord for e.g. the following applications:
A: Continuous amnioinfusion in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) with oligo-/anhydramnios
B: Infusion therapy and intrauterine nutrition in growth-restricted fetuses due to placental insufficiency (IUGR – intrauterine growth restriction)
The advantage is low risk of infection, simplified access and considerably improved quality of life for the patient as provided by a closed system.
