TITAN PORT SPECIAL
TITAN-PORT UA
ARM PORT
The ARM PORT allows repeated access to the central venous vascular system.
- The use of the corresponding special cannulas is obligatory.
- hypoallergenic
- High biocompatibility
- particularly light (5.5 g)
- No chemical reactivity with injection solutions
- MR-conditionally safe up to 3 Tesla
- Secure twist and screw connection between chamber and catheter
- Suture holes for fixation to muscle fascia
- Compatible with non-coring port needles
- High pressure stability
- Self-closing special silicone
- Holds the port needle reliably in position
- Polyurethane: very flexible, but kink-resistant
- outstanding biocompatibility
- Suitable for long-term use
- free from latex, PVC and DEHP
- Length scaling for precise and safe implantation
- radiopaque
- Additional side hole for easier blood collection
- Conical tip for better insertion into the vein
- Catheter and port chamber are de-connectable
TITAN-PORT V-UA is a totally implantable port catheter system for venous implantation consisting of a titan chamber (port) with a self-sealing silicone membrane and a screw closure mechanism which enables the connection with the respective polyurethane catheter.
Each system also includes a special puncture cannula SFN 0930 G, a refill cannula, a vein lifter, an introducer set, this instruction for use and an implant card.
The introducer set consists of a 0.46 mm guide wire, an introducer syringe, a 20 G introducer cannula, a 6 F dilator and a disposable scalpel. Please observe the enclosed separate instructions for use.
This port system is designed to allow the flattest possible implantation, e.g. on an extremity, preferably the upper arm, forearm (however, in the case of the forearm, note the increased movement of the catheter and slightly increased risk of thrombosis and catheter rupture because it lies further peripherally) or with relatively little subcutaneous tissue. Implantation is also possible via the subclavian vein.
TITAN port catheter systems are MR-conditionally safe. We will be happy to provide you with further information upon request.
The TITAN PORT V-UA ensures the repeated access to the central venous vascular system for the following applications, e.g.:
- for long-term treatment of cytostatics agents and other “aggressive” medications
- patients with poor peripheral veins requiring frequent intravenous injections
- for infusion therapy
- for parenteral nutrition
- for HIV patients
- for venous blood sampling
- for blood transfusions (*see note blood transfusion)
The advantage is a low risk of infection, simplified access and considerably improved quality of life for the patient as provided by a closed system.
Patient group: Patients with the need for long-term central venous access to the vascular system.
Operators: Medical professionals (doctors, nurses) with appropriate qualifications.
Intended purpose:
The port catheter system is only used to pass blood and medication into or out of the patient’s vascular system. The product itself thus fulfils a physical property and has no medical, therapeutic effect.
*Blood transfusion
Use 18 or 19 gauge cannulas for blood transfusions if possible! The system must then be immediately flushed with at least 20 – 50 ml of 0.9 % NaCl solution, the needle should be rotated to ensure that the chambers are flushed evenly.

*insertion set included
Only spechial straight non-coring port
needles (e.g., SFN® port needles or other suitable port needles)
should be used to puncture the port membrane. These needles exhibit a unique
bevel at the tip. For standard use, the SFN 0930 G and SFN 0930 B and are recommended.
The use of special port needle prevents that holes or silicone particle are
punched out, which could proceed into the bloodstream or plug the system.
Each system contains a suitable needle.
