The PowerPort* Implantable Port is a cylinder with a hollow space inside that is sealed by a soft top. It connects to a small, flexible tube called a catheter. When a special needle is put into the soft top of the PowerPort* device, it creates "access" to your bloodstream, meaning that medications and fluids can be given and blood samples withdrawn.
Several distinctive features that can be seen and felt help to identify the special design of the PowerPort* device for power-injected CECT scans. These features include a unique triangle shape and a unique triangular arrangement of three bumps called Palpation Points on the soft top of the port.
For power-injected CECT scans, the PowerPort* device is used with a needle designed especially for power injection called the PowerLoc* Safety Winged Infusion Set.
