Abstract
A port is adapted to be implanted to a body with its top exposed to the environment. The port has a housing defining a chamber that has an opening at the top of the housing. An aperture having a lumen attached thereto is formed at the lower portion of the chamber. For infusion, an insert that has an internal passageway that connects a fluid inlet at its top surface and a bore at its sidewall is sealingly mated to the chamber. The bore sealingly aligns with the aperture. After infusion, the insert is removed, and a blank insert is fitted to the chamber. A band of tissue ingrowth media encircles the housing to form an aseptic barrier where the outer wall of the housing and the tissue of the body encircling the housing meet.
