Chemotherapy is an extremely difficult stage in the treatment of patients with cancer who, like no one else, need special treatment and maximum comfort during the procedures. That is why the European Medical Center (EMC) takes care not only of the medical component, but also of the patient's convenience.
An implantable port is a device that provides easy permanent access to the vascular system for drug infusion or blood collection. The system consists of the port itself, a small reservoir with a membrane, and a catheter, a thin plastic tube connecting the port to a vein.
The use of an implantable port greatly facilitates the implementation of chemotherapeutic, as well as any other infusion treatment.
The installation of an implantable port in the EMC during chemotherapy has many advantages, including:
-
Simplicity and efficiency.
The installation procedure takes place on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and takes no more than half an hour.
-
The competence of specialists.
At EMC, the implantable port is installed by experienced doctors who have a continuous practice of performing such procedures.
-
Security.
The port system is completely located under the skin, which reduces the risk of infection, and can be used for several months during all scheduled courses of therapy. Blood sampling is also performed through the port.
-
Physical comfort.
During regular procedures, veins are not injured, the percentage of possible complications is reduced and the rehabilitation period is shortened.
-
Psychological comfort.
The installation of the port does not affect the patient's daily life and mobility, it is practically invisible on the body.
Over the current year, the number of installed port systems in the EMC has increased by more than 3 times compared to the total number over the previous two years, which indicates the growing trust of our patients in us and the constant desire to receive the highest quality medical care.
