Key Features

Slim and Low-Profile Design
The Power Port Slim is engineered with a sleek, low-profile design that offers a discreet and comfortable option for patients. Its slim profile minimizes the bulge under the skin, enhancing patient comfort and body image. This design is particularly advantageous for patients who may be self-conscious about the appearance of traditional implantable ports.

High Flow Rates
The Bard Power Port Slim is capable of supporting high flow rates, making it suitable for a wide range of clinical applications, including the administration of contrast media for imaging procedures. This feature ensures that patients receive the required treatments promptly and efficiently, reducing the time spent on infusion therapies.

Power Injectable
A standout feature of the Bard Power Port Slim is its power-injectable capability. This means the port can be used for power injection of contrast media during imaging procedures such as computed tomography (CT) scans. This eliminates the need for additional IV access during such procedures, thereby enhancing patient comfort and reducing the risk of complications.

Radiopaque Identification
The port is equipped with radiopaque identifiers that make it easily visible under imaging techniques such as X-rays. This feature ensures accurate placement and verification, which is crucial for the safe and effective use of the device. The radiopaque markers also help healthcare providers to distinguish the Bard Power Port Slim from other types of ports.
