Titan-Port AS/PT (Ascites and 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 single-lumen silicone catheter for connection to the port chamber and fixing to the outlet tube with a screw. Each system also includes a special puncture needle, an introducer set, a tunnelizer, instructions for use and an implant card.

The silicone catheter 14.5 F (outer diameter of 4.9 mm, a total length 600 mm and priming volume of 0.59 ml/10cm) has lateral holes and is rolled about approx. 12 cm at the proximal end. It has a round tip and if necessary the catheter can also be shortened at the distal (unperforated) end.

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

TITAN port catheter systems are MR conditional safe. We will be happy to provide you with further information on 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.

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.

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

* SET including introducer set and tunnelizer

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

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 smaller SFN® port needles, e. g. SFN 1320 S and
SFN 1325 S. The period of application of SFN 1320 S and SFN 1325 S should not exceed a period of application of 24 hours.

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.

The SFN® special port needles are available separately:
