Surgical Implant for Abdominal Drug Delivery

The provider surgically inserts a catheter within the abdominal cavity and also creates a subcutaneous pocket in the fascia of the rectus muscle to hold a pump reservoir, a drug or therapeutic agent reservoir. The tunneled catheter delivers the requisite drug into the cavity from the subcutaneous reservoir. The provider performs this procedure to establish a delivery system to administer chemotherapy drugs for patients treated for abdominal cancer or to administer insulin, morphine, or other drugs.
