The fastening assemblies create a mechanical joinder and liquid-tight seal between the selected catheter and the stem.

Implantable plural fluid cavity access port

A subcutaneous implantable access port (10) is formed of a housing (11) having a pair of non-circular fluid cavities (40, 42) enclosed therein by a floor (39), walls (41) upstanding from the floor (39), and a self-sealing septum (17, 18) positioned opposite the floor (39) above each fluid cavity (40, 42). The housing (11) is constructed of a base (12), a septum support (26), and a cap (14). An outlet stem (20) exits the base (12) and communicates with the fluid cavities (40, 42) therein. The outlet stem (20) has two prongs (54, 56) formed in a side-by-side configuration extending outwardly from the base (12). Within prongs (54, 56) are formed stem channels (67, 67a) each in fluid communication with one of the fluid cavities (40, 42). Protruding radially outwardly from each prong (54, 56) is a barb (60, 62). Fluid injected into the fluid cavity (40, 42) through the septums (17, 18) flows through a transition region (65, 65a) in which the cross-sectional area is smoothly reduced from the corresponding fluid cavity (40, 42). A locking sleeve (80) provides radial inward pressure upon the catheter (70) which is slid over the outlet stem (20) to secure catheter (70) to access port (10). The top wall (16) of cap (14) includes a raised tactile locating ridge (24, 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, and 24f) positioned between and adjacent to the septums (17, 18). A doctor palpating the skin of the patient at the site of the implantation of the access port (10) can simultaneously locate and differentiate each septum (16, 18) without blocking needle access thereto using the locating ridge (24, 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, and 24f). <IMAGE>

Catheters with novel lumen shapes

Vascular access catheters that include a catheter body having one or a plurality of lumens longitudinally extending therethrough. The lumens have cross-sectional shapes that enhance kink resistance, support reliable slit valve operation, and couple securely with the outlet stem of a multiple reservoir implantable access port. In a dual lumen catheter disclosed, each of the lumens are defined by a plurality of longitudinally extending generally linear inner wall surfaces. The inner wall surfaces when viewed in a transverse cross section of the catheter body taken normal to the longitudinal access have trapezoidal shapes. Other cross-sectional shapes are also illustrated. A generally planar septum separates the pair of lumens. The lumens effect a fluid-tight mechanical engagement between the D-shaped outlet prongs of a conventional outlet stem of an implantable dual reservoir access port, highly reliable two-way, three-position slit valves may be associated with each of the lumens. The valve for each lumen has a closed position thereof in which fluid communication is precluded between the lumen and the exterior of the catheter body, but the valve is selectively operable under the influence of appropriate pressure differentials between the lumens and the exterior of the catheter from the closed position into either an inwardly or an outwardly open position.
