Subcutaneous Port Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

Description

Several types of subcutaneous (under the skin) ports are available. The subcutaneous port differs from the external catheter in that it is completely under the skin. A small metal chamber with a rubber top is implanted under the skin of the chest. A catheter threads from the metal chamber (portal) under the skin to a large vein near the collarbone, and then inside the vein to the right atrium of the heart (see Figures 12-2 and 12-3). Whenever the catheter is needed for a blood draw or an infusion, a needle is inserted by a nurse through the skin and into the rubber top of the portal.
