THE PROBLEM
Inserting a Huber needle accurately during chest port access is challenging for clinicians, often leading to multiple attempts, patient discomfort, increased infection risk, and higher healthcare costs due to additional supplies.
In a study, 60% of nurses considered it challeging and conversome to accuratelly insert the non-coring needle into a chest port on first attempt.
PortAlign is a medical device that provides a stable guide for Huber needle insertion, reducing attempts, enhancing patient comfort, minimizing infection risk, and cutting healthcare costs.
