Onlay Subcutaneous Injection Port
US Patent:
2012017, Jul 12, 2012
Filed:
Jul 8, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/135537
Inventors:
Sidney P. Rohrscheib - Clinton IL, US
International Classification:
A61M 5/00
US Classification:
60428802
Abstract:
The device is an implantable subcutaneous injection port used for various purposes including, but not limited to, vascular access and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. This device, with its tubing route and flexible connectors offers a solution to the problem of tubing occlusion and loss of integrity due to kinking. This device exhibits an injection chamber disposed within a housing. A self sealing septum is disposed within an injection chamber aperture. A second aperture communicates with a tube that is designed to connect to a catheter or other device suitable to the surgical application. Here the second aperture exits directly beneath the onlay port reducing the possibility of tubing kink, needle puncture and malpositioning seen with only ports where the catheter exits from the side of the device. An alternate embodiment utilizes a u-joint and ball joint to maximize the flexibility of the connection between the onlay port and the exiting catheter.
