Abstract:
A catheter port assembly (100) is disclosed. The assembly (100) includes an adapter (200) having a body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a passageway (206) extending therethrough between the proximal and distal end. The distal end is adapted to engage a catheter. The assembly (100) further includes a tunneler (300) releasably connectable to the proximal end of the adapter and a catheter port (400), having a valve disposed therein, releasably connectable to the proximal end of the adapter (200). In an alternative preferred embodiment, the valve may be disposed inside of the adapter, rather than the catheter port (400). Alternatively, the body of the port assembly may be one piece, having a valve disposed therein. A method of installing and operating the catheter port assembly is also provided.
