The necessity of long-term entry into the venous blood bed has led to the development of systems that render that possible and simultaneously minimize risks connected with the implantation of alien material. Aside of antibacterially treated percutaneous canulae of various designs there has been developed a system placed completely in the subcutis - a port. This system has found its place in applications even in the permanent entry into other cavities of the human body such as the arterial blood bed, the peritoneal cavity, epidural spaces, etc. Its application is versatile, safe, long-term when properly tended to, and foremost comfortable for the patient as well as for the physician.
Key words: venous port - intravenous chemotherapy - Huber’s needle - portal system - intra-arterial port
