Helping you understand Our healthcare
A vascular access port is a small medical device implanted under the skin that provides easy access to a central vein. It allows healthcare providers to deliver medications, nutrition, or dialysis without repeated needle sticks.
Patients who require:
• Long-term chemotherapy
• Total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
• Regular blood draws or infusions
• Chronic dialysis
It’s a minimally invasive procedure done under local anesthesia and mild sedation. A small incision is made, and the port is placed under the skin with a catheter connected to a central vein.
No. Patients usually experience minimal discomfort during insertion. Mild soreness around the site is common for a few days and managed with painkillers.
In most cases, the port can be accessed within 24–48 hours after insertion. Your doctor will advise based on your specific case.
