DualPort

The Dual-Port is an implantable double-chamber port with a port inlay made of titanium and a plastic casing for the simultaneous administration of incompatible medication. This port system also permits the high-pressure application of a contrast medium as part of regular tumour staging.

Benefits

Excellent plastic-titanium combination
The special combination of two materials provide light weight and high safety.

Suitable for high-pressure applications
The pressure resistance of the systems allows the application of certain substances with high pressure.

Ergonomic design
A flat construction form for easy placement and handling.

Easy identification
Palpation of both excellently-palpable port chambers allows for their easy location.

Minimal mixing
The graduated openings of the catheter lumen ensure that mixing of applied medication is kept to a minimum.

MRI-compatible
Reduced artefact formation (up to 3.0T)

Connection mechanism
Click-connector for simple and easy connection as well as secure and reliable fixation of catheter and port chamber.
