Model Titan-Port Dr - Implantable Port Catheter System
The TITAN-PORT DR (drainage) is a fully implantable port catheter system providing an access facility to the pleura cavity. The set contains a titanium port chamber with a self-sealing silicone membrane and a single-lumen polyurethane catheter for connection to the port chamber and fixing to the outlet tube with a screw. Each system also includes a port cannulae SFN 0930 G, a special puncture needle SFN 1835 B, an introducer set (consisting of an 18 G introducer, an 11 F introducer peel-away and a 0.89 mm guidewire), a tunnelizer, a vein lifter, a rinsing needle, user instructions and an implant card. The single-lumen polyurethane catheter 10 F (outer diameter 3.4 mm, an inner diameter 2.0 mm, total length 72 cm and internal volume of 0.31 mL per 10 cm) has at the proximal end a fishmouth tip and ten sideholes. If necessary the catheter can be shortened at the distal end.
The TITAN-PORT DR allows repeated access to the pleura cavity if necessary especially for drainage of blood, secretions and gases within the following indications
- Pleural effusion
- Pleural empyema
- Chylo-, haemato- or pneumothorax
- Abcess
- Installation of therapeutics e.g. antibiotics, cytostatics or rinsing fluid
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. In particular, this significantly improves the patient’s quality of life and minimises the infection rate during access with pleural catheters.
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.
Operators: Medical professionals (doctors, nurses) with appropriate qualifications.
Only special non-coring port needles should be used to puncture the port membrane.
Depending on indication and flow rate different special puncture needles can be used. These may be the DPK 2035, SFN 1835 B and SFN 1535 B, as well as the smaller SFN® port needles in various sizes, e. g. SFN 0930B and SFN 0930 G. The needles exhibit a unique bevel and angle at the tip. This prevents punch defects at the membrane when the needle is inserted. Each system contains a suitable needle. Appropriate accessories can be ordered separately if required.
