Boston Scientific Infusion Ports

Boston Scientific Infusion Ports are rougly the size of a U.S. 50 cent coin. The infusion ports are fitted beneath the skin of the patient around the clavicle bone. Needles poke into the port, allowing for the transfer of drugs through a catheter. Boston Scientific Infusion Ports were first analyzed with critical scrutiny after the manufacturer received a complaint that the two plastic pieces that form the port's cover and base had separated, potentially due to faulty welding.

Thousands of patients across the country may need surgery to remove Boston Scientific infusion ports. Federal regulators have cited more than 2,000 of the ports for quality control problems. If a patient has been implanted with a Boston Scientific infusion port, doctors have been instructed to consider surgery.
