PhantomPorts - Perfect for the SIPI Technique
Available in titanium and plastic, the Phantom Port is the perfect size and shape for the *Single Incision Peripheral Insertion (SIPI) V-A-P Placement Technique.
The stainless steel catheter connector pin can be replaced by a plastic/PEEK pin if a metal-free vascular access port is a requirement.
