Port Placement (Implanted Venous Access Device)
How it’s Performed

- Chemotherapy treatment
- Long-term IV antibiotics
- Frequent lab draws or medication infusions
- Poor peripheral veins
Key Benefits
- Quick outpatient procedure
- Small incision, usually <1 inch
- Allows comfortable, reliable access
- Lower infection risk than PICC lines
- Ready for use shortly after placement
