The TITAN-PORT AS/PT (ascites/ peritoneal therapy) is a fully implantable port catheter system providing an access facility to the peritoneal space. The set contains a titanium port chamber with a self-sealing silicone membrane and a silicone catheter for connection to the port chamber and fixing to the outlet tube with a screw. Each system also includes a port cannula, a SFN 0930 G, a special puncture needle DPK 2035, an introducer set (consisting of an 18 G introducer, an 11 F introducer peel-away and a 0.89 mm guidewire), a tunnelizer, this user instructions and an implant card. 

The silicone catheter 14.5 F has lateral holes and is rolled about approx. 12 cm at the distal end. At the proximal (non-perforated) end, the catheter can be shortened as required (before connection to the corresponding port chamber) and connected to the outflow tube of the port chamber via a screw.

Only special non-coring port needles should be used to puncture the port membrane!

TITAN port catheter systems are MR-conditionally safe. We will be happy to provide you with further information upon request.

The TITAN-PORT AS/PT allows repeated access to the peritoneal cavity if necessary while minimizing the rate of infection with external peritoneal catheters. Indications may be:

• ascites puncture
• peritoneal therapy (e. g. peritoneal chemotherapy or peritoneal dialysis)

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-termaccess to the peritoneal cavity.

Operators: Medical professionals (doctors, nurses) with appropriate qualifications.

*including introducer and tunnelizer

Depending on indication and flow rate different special puncture needles can be used. These may be the DPK 2035, SFN 1835 B and SFN 1535 B as well as the smaller SFN® safety port needles in various sizes, e. g. SFN 1320 S and SFN 1325 S. The needles exhibit a unique bevel and angle at the tip. This prevents punch defects at the membrane when the needle is inserted.

Each system contains a suitable needle. Appropriate accessories can be ordered separately if required.
