TITAN-PORT D (dialysis) is a fully implantable venous port catheter system as an access option for performing veno-venous dialysis.
There are 2 different systems available in complete sets:
the port catheter system with double-lumen PU catheter 14 F and the port catheter system with single-lumen silicone catheter 12 F:
The set includes a titanium port chamber with a self-sealing silicone membrane and a screw to fix the catheter to the outflow tube and a single lumen silicone catheter with an inflow and outflow connection to the port chamber. Each system is also supplied with a special puncture cannula SFN 1835 B, a puncture cannula SFN 0930 G, an introducer set (consisting of an 18 G introducer cannula, a 13 F introducer peel-away and a 0.89 mm guide wire), a tunnelizer, these instructions for use and an implant card.
The TITAN-PORT D allows repeated access to the central venous blood vessel system for the following applications, for example:
– veno-venous dialysis for renal insufficiency requiring dialysis
– primarily
– as an alternative in case of failure of other access routes for long-term dialysis e.g. Cimino shunt
The advantage is a low risk of infection, simplified access and considerably improved quality of life for the patient as provided by a closed system.
Patient group: Patients in need of long-term central venous access to the vascular system.
Operators: Medical professionals (doctors, nurses) with appropriate qualifications.
Intended purpose:
The port catheter system is only used to pass blood and medication into or out of the patient’s vascular system. The product itself thus fulfils a physical property and has no medical, therapeutic effect.
