Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An access port for providing subcutaneous access to a patient is disclosed. The access port includes a septum including palpable identification indicia thereon. In particular, the access port in one embodiment includes a body that defines a fluid cavity and a needle-penetrable septum covering the fluid cavity for providing access thereto. The septum defines an outer periphery. One or more palpation features are included on the septum. The palpation features each include a portion that extends in a radial direction beyond the outer periphery of the septum. The palpation features are therefore disposed relatively farther away from each other, simplifying palpation and identification thereof after the port has been subcutaneously implanted into a patient. The palpation features can be indicative of an attribute of the port, such as its ability to withstand fluid pressures and flow rates associated with power injection, for instance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A needle-penetrable septum for use in an access port that provides subcutaneous access to a patient, the septum comprising: a substantially disc-shaped septum body having an upper body portion and a lower body portion, the upper body portion generally defining a substantially round outer periphery at a juncture between the upper body portion and the lower body portion; and a plurality of palpation features integrally defined on a top surface of the septum…
