If you or your loved one is undergoing cancer treatment in Malaysia, you may have heard about chemoports—a small device implanted under the skin that provides easy and reliable access to your veins. Chemoports are commonly used in hospitals across Kuala Lumpur and throughout Malaysia to make repeated chemotherapy sessions and blood tests more comfortable and less stressful. But many patients ask us: Is it difficult to take care of a chemoport?
The answer is: not at all. What is a Chemoport?
A chemoport (also called an implantable port or port-a-cath) is a small medical device placed under the skin, usually near the chest. It connects to a thin tube (catheter) that leads to a large vein. This allows healthcare professionals to give treatment—like chemotherapy or IV fluids—and draw blood without repeated needle pokes. Why Choose a Chemoport?
✅Less Pain, Less Stress
With a chemoport, you avoid the discomfort of repeated needle sticks. ✅Safe and Reliable Access
It gives your medical team easy access to your bloodstream for months or even years. ✅Freedom and Comfort
Once healed, many patients forget it’s even there. You can shower, go out, and live your daily life with peace of mind. Easy Maintenance, Step by Step
Chemoport maintenance is simple and usually done during regular hospital visits. Here’s what you need to know:
Flushing the Port
To keep the port working well, it’s flushed with a saline solution—usually once every 4 to 6 weeks if not in regular use. This takes just a few minutes and is done by a nurse.
Clean Needle Access
When the port is used, the needle used (called a Huber needle) is safely inserted by trained staff. After treatment, it is removed and cleaned properly.
Minimal Wound Care
After the initial healing (about 7–10 days), no daily dressing is needed. You can bathe as usual.
Watch for Signs
Although rare, redness, swelling, or pain around the port site should be checked. Regular check-ups will ensure everything is working fine.
