Bard PowerPort ISP M.R.I. Implantable Port 4808060- Intermediate Size, 6.0 Fr ChronoFlex Catheter

Bard PowerPort® isp® M.R.I.™ | Intermediate Port | 8 Fr ChronoFlex® | 4808060

The Bard PowerPort® isp® M.R.I.™ (4808060) is a premier vascular access solution engineered for 2026 standards in long-term infusion therapy. This Intermediate Size Port (ISP) provides a compact, lightweight footprint designed to enhance patient comfort and cosmesis without sacrificing the ease of septum palpation required for clinical access.

The system is distinguished by its M.R.I.™ construction, utilizing a radio-translucent plastic port body that significantly reduces imaging artifacts compared to titanium alternatives. This allows for superior clarity during Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) and MRI scans, ensuring accurate tumor tracking and diagnostic monitoring.

Key Performance Features

• Power-Injection Rated: Indicated for power-injected contrast media at a maximum flow rate of 5 mL/sec, facilitating high-quality CECT imaging for pulmonary embolism studies and oncology staging.

• M.R.I.™ Design: The lightweight plastic port body is designed to minimize metal-related artifacts, providing "clearer" imaging fields for patients requiring frequent radiological follow-ups.

• Palpable Identification: Features the signature "three bumps" on the septum and a unique triangular port shape, allowing clinicians to verify power-injectability via simple palpation through the skin.

• ChronoFlex® Polyurethane Catheter: The 8.0 French attachable catheter is made from biocompatible polyurethane, offering exceptional kink resistance and long-term chemical stability against aggressive chemotherapeutic agents.

• Radiopaque "CT" Identification: The base of the port features a radiopaque "CT" marker, providing definitive verification of the port's power-injection status under standard X-ray.
