Abstract: An implantable access port for use in transferring fluid transdermally between an external fluid storage or dispensing device and a site within a patient is disclosed. The access port includes a body, at least two reservoirs defined within the access port body, and at least one septum secured to the body and enclosing the reservoirs within the body. The access port also includes reservoir outlets defined within the reservoirs. The access port also has body conduits defined within the body and in fluid communication with the reservoir outlets and external openings defined in the exterior of the body. An implantable access port and system for use in apheresis is also provided that includes an implantable access port, at least one needle, and a catheter that is fluidly connected to the access port.

Abstract: A catheter repair kit and method for repairing a catheter is provided. The catheter repair kit can include a rod and a connection element for coupling the rod to the connection element. The method of repairing the catheter can include providing a catheter with a remnant extension leg, a replacement extension tube, and the steps of attaching a connection element to the remnant extension leg, and coupling the remnant extension leg to the replacement extension tube.

Abstract: A catheter for implantation into a patient having a catheter tube having a distal end, a means for trimming the distal end of the catheter tube after subcutaneous insertion of the tip of the catheter lumen into a desired position within the patient to form a trimmed end portion, and a means for selectively positioning each respective lumen of the trimmed end portion of the catheter tube into fluid communication with the respective first end of one attachment tube. The attachment tube is select fluid communication with a desired medical device. Additionally, a repair kit and method of repairing a damaged catheter in which a fluid-tight connection is created between an existing implanted catheter and a replacement tubing.
