TITAN-PORT V are totally implantable port catheter systems 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 catheter.

Each system includes a 20 G access needle, a rinsing needle, a vein lifter, this instruction for use, a patient care guide and an implant card. If the port catheter system is a complete set (recognisable by the suffix “SET” at the end of the article number), it also includes a special port puncture needle SFN 0925 S, a tunnelizer and a matching introducer set (e.g., for implantation using the Seldinger technique).

The port catheter systems are placed on market as a procedure pack with difference in size of the port chamber, material and size of the catheter and associated introducer set.

The choice of size depends on the patient’s anatomy, the type of application, etc., and is at the discretion of the doctor.

High-pressure suitable port catheter systems Standard are marked accordingly:

High pressure injections with contrast medium via port catheter systems

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

TITAN port catheter systems A/V ensure 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
• in HIV patients
• for venous blood sampling 
• for blood transfusion
• for high-pressure injections (systems marked accordingly are also suitable for high-pressure injection)

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 in need of 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.

Suitable for high pressure contrast injection – 300 psi/21 bar up to 5.2 ml/sec
High pressure injections with contrast medium via port catheter systems

Only special 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. 20 Gauge is recommended for standard use.
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.

Blood Transfusion

For blood transfusions, use 18 or 19 gauge needles if possible! Afterwards, the system must be rinsed immediately with at least 20 – 50 ml of 0.9 % saline. Thereby, the needle should be rotated to ensure an even rinsing of the chambers.
