Subcutaneous implanted ports provide the veterinarian or researcher safe, repeated access to a variety of different internal environments. Although the majority of ports are used for intravenous access, numerous other sites are now ready accessible such as: arterial, cranial, spinal, ventricular, intestinal and biliary. An intravenous port, for example, will allow easy access to a desired vessel for sampling or dosing with little risk of damaging the vessel and greatly reduced opportunity for infection. Since the ports are implanted subcutaneously, the risk of infection is lower than having a catheter exiting through the skin. Catheters of any size can easily be connected to access ports to fit and sampling or infusion application.
