Port catheter is a critical treatment device for patients undergoing cancer therapy. During cancer treatment, frequent venous access is often required for chemotherapy and other procedures. However, repeated use of veins can lead to damage and complications. The insertion of a port catheter helps prevent these issues, making the treatment process more comfortable and effective.
A port catheter is a small device implanted under the skin, providing continuous and secure venous access throughout treatment. The catheter tip usually connects to a large vein, eliminating the need for repeated needle insertions. This allows patients to experience less pain and discomfort during therapy while maintaining reliable vascular access.
