Another day, another port 🙂

Port-a-cath for chemotherapy, antibiotic therapy and also for contrast infusion during CT scan studies.

A CT-compatible, implantable port catheter system made of tissue-compatible plastic. It has a C-Flow chamber that improves flow dynamics and allows for computed tomography with contrast medium (contrast-CT)

Inquire with your neighborhood friendly IRs for this kind of procedure. God bless!
