Abstract
A system and a method for streamlining the port placement process. The placement system can simultaneously form an incision, dissect tissue, create a tissue pocket of the correct size for the port being placed, and place the port subcutaneously. In an embodiment, the port includes tunneling features for creating a subcutaneous tissue pocket. In an embodiment, the insertion tool includes tunneling features for creating a subcutaneous tissue pocket. Further, the port includes a reinforced, concave septum that allows for a low overall profile of the port, while still capable of withstanding power injection. This results in reduced procedure times, reduced scarring, and minimized wound management.
