Addressing infection in totally implantable venous access ports: An ex vivo study on bacterial transfer and the Forsvall Port needle design
The Forsvall Port needle significantly reduces bacterial transfer into TIVAPs, which could potentially decrease TIVAP-related infections. This study demonstrates a strong association between needle design and bacterial transfer during TIVAP access.
