Atlas Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine,
located on Park Avenue South at 31st Street in Manhattan, New York
offers Implanted Epidural Portal management and pain treatment.
An epidural portal (or epidural port) is a implanted device which
allows access to the epidural space in your spine to relieve pain.
It us used for the delivery of pain medications for pain management.
The device is usually
implanted under the skin on the chest. Attached to the base of the
port is a narrow flexible tube, called a catheter. The catheter runs
beneath the skin from the epidural space in the space around to the
front of the chest where it is attached to the port. Since the
entire device is placed under the skin, the risk of infection is
greatly reduced. The septum is made of a remarkable self sealing
rubber material. Over years of use, the septum may be punctured many
many times and reseals itself instantly after use. This procedure is
done only after a trial of epidural medications has been proven to
be useful in managing your pain.
The Implanted Epirural
Portal is one of the most significant advances for the control
of pain.
