Venous access port

A port for a catheter includes a housing, a chamber arranged in the housing for receiving a medically active substance, a connecting piece for connecting the catheter to produce a flow connection between the chamber and the catheter, and at least one lever, mounted to be pivotable about a pivot axis and realized to allow the catheter to be fitted onto the connecting piece in a first pivot position and to hold the catheter in a clamping manner on the connecting piece in a second pivot position. The at least one lever has different first and second portions. The first portion carries a latching device for latching the at least one lever with the housing and/or with a first portion of a further lever in the second pivot position. The second portion has a clamping device for holding the catheter in the clamping manner in the second pivot position.

Port for a catheter

The invention relates to a catheter port for supplying an active substance to an active site which is distant from the port. According to the invention, the housing () of the port is designed to have two parts, an upper housing part () and a lower housing part (). The upper housing part () holds an insertion part () in a clamping manner in a housing recess () of the lower housing part (), wherein a chamber () is arranged in said insertion part for receiving the active substance with the interpositioning of a punctured membrane () that can be pierced with an injection cannula. While the insertion part () and the chamber () can be manufactured from a material resistant to the active substance, preferably a heavier ceramics, the upper and lower housing parts may consist of a lighter biocompatible plastic material. It is advantageous that the patient only comes into contact with the upper and lower housing parts made of a biocompatible plastic material and not with the insertion part.
