DUAL RESERVOIR IMPLANTABLE ACCESS PORT
First Claim
1. An implantable vascular access port, comprising:
- a body comprising;
an upper surface;
an opposed lower surface;
a side wall extending therebetween the upper and lower surfaces, the side wall defining a pair of ports;
a first reservoir defined therein a portion of the upper surface of the body;
a second reservoir defined therein a portion of the upper surface of the body;
a first body conduit extending between the first reservoir and a first port of the pair of ports; and
a second body conduit extending between the second reservoir and a second port of the pair of ports;
at least one septum configured to be seated within an upper portion of at least one of the first or second reservoirs; and
a retainer defining a first retainer opening and a second retainer opening, wherein the first and second retainer openings are separated by a common dividing member, wherein the retainer is mountable thereon the body such that the first retainer opening overlies the first reservoir and the second retainer opening overlies the second reservoir, and wherein the at least one septum is sealingly secured therebetween the retainer and the body.

Abstract
An implantable access port for use in transferring fluid transdermally between an external fluid storage or dispensing device and a site within a patient is disclosed. The access port includes a body, at least two reservoirs defined within the access port body, and at least one septum secured to the body and enclosing the reservoirs within the body. The access port also includes reservoir outlets defined within the reservoirs. The access port also has body conduits defined within the body and in fluid communication with the reservoir outlets and external openings defined in the exterior of the body. An implantable access port and system for use in apheresis is also provided that includes an implantable access port, at least one needle, and a catheter that is fluidly connected to the access port.
