agree  uyuni: or 'port-a-cath'...or 'placement'...// Yes, it's a brand name, an extremely common one, though, which at least partially replaced the original term, just like 'Fön' in German...;-) Happy New Year!

I submitted this reduced suggestion on purpose. Medical people like to keep it brief.
Any medical doctor will know what's meant by a 'port', no need to elaborate.

agree  Anne Schulz: Shouldn't you have at least one agree for all the links you researched – and "port" may have been the relevant problem for the asker, who knows?
