Abstract
The present invention provides a system for attaching a fluid access port to a patient. The system generally comprises an implantable access port and a tool for attaching an access port to a patient. The implantable access port may include a plurality of anchor assemblies composed of two different materials. In addition, a mesh member may be attached to the base of the access port to facilitate implantation of the access port into a patient'"'"'s body. The tool may have a rotatable actuator head, and may engage the access port in various orientations.
