Abstract: Fluid delivery systems and methods of delivering an agent and treating a disorder are disclosed that include a subcutaneously implantable port having a body defining a chamber with an open top and a delivery opening and a septum coupled to the body to extend over the open top of the chamber. The systems and methods can further include an intrathecal catheter having an proximal end configured to be coupled to the port and fluidly coupled to the delivery opening of the chamber and a plug having a body with a passage to receive the intrathecal catheter therethrough. The plug can be configured to be inserted into the fascia to protect against leakage of cerebrospinal fluid.

Abstract: Fluid delivery systems and methods of delivering a therapeutic agent are disclosed that include a subcutaneously implantable port that can be easily and efficiently located through the tissue of a patient. The port includes a body that defines a chamber having an open top, a delivery opening, and a catheter connection portion, and a septum disposed on the body, where the septum includes a lower surface extending over the open top of the chamber and an opposite, upper surface. The port further includes a cap of the port that defines an opening extending therethrough and the cap is configured to be coupled to the body to secure the septum within the port with the opening of the cap providing needle access to the septum. The cap includes a downwardly tapered surface that extends around the opening and is configured to direct a needle towards the upper surface of the septum.
