Wheelchair lift apparatus

A protective assembly for a protruding portal shields a neck portion of the portal. The protective assembly is well suited for shielding a percutaneous access device during surgical implantation. The protective assembly includes a lid seating pin configured to seat within the interior of the portal and a lid secured to the pin extending over exterior portions of the portal and gapped from the portal face and the neck. Optionally, the pin inserts within a temporary turret engaging the interior of the portal.

Protective assembly for a percutaneous access device

A percutaneous access device implantable beneath the skin of a patient which includes a housing having a flange positionable beneath the skin and neck projecting outward through the skin. The percutaneous access device includes electrical communication through the flange and fluid access through the flange. The components providing fluid access and electrical communication are removable through the neck portion of the implant for testing and service as required without the need for further surgery on the patient. A turret body is received within the hollow interior of the neck having a fluid channel extending therethrough and containing current limiting devices securely disposed within the turret body.
