What Is a Port-a-Cath? A port-a-cath is an IV (intravenous) catheter that is placed under the skin in a patient who requires frequent administration of chemotherapy, blood transfusions, antibiotics, intravenous feeding, or blood draws.
Some medications must be given by an intravenous (IV) injection or infusion. This means theyâre sent directly into your vein using a needle or tube. In fact, the term âintravenousâ means âinto the vein.â With IV administration, a thin plastic tube called an IV catheter is inserted into your vein. The catheter allows your healthcare provider to give you multiple safe doses of medication without needing to poke you with a needle each time.
