Automatic Implanted Port Access Device
TS-061547 — A venous access port device that leverages near-field communication (NFC) to automate needle placement as well as a disposable needle cartridge to increase the ease
of and help maintain aseptic access to the port.
Venous access ports are central venous access devices that allow healthcare practitioners easy access to the patient’s veins to give treatment and take blood. Typically, these ports are made of non-irritant material and can remain under the skin for weeks or months.
