Miniature TIVAPS with LED Technology: Improving Visibility and Safety in Venous Access Devices
摘要
Totally Implanted Venous Access Port Systems (TIVAPS) is increasingly used during chemotherapy, which has provided significant advancement in managing cancer patients with the ability to deliver treatments in a safe and continuous manner. However, the implantation of said devices can causes complications including infections, obstruction, thrombosis, and extravasation that increase patient stress and prolong care. A solution must be found in these situations for medical staff to easily and precisely locate the port. Here we describe a new TIVAPS model, outfitted with internally mounted light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to improve visibility during the puncture process. Induction coupling WPT was selected for implantation devices because it is efficient and suitable for the implanted application. The TIVAPS was developed using SolidWorks and simulated in Simulink to evaluate system feasibility. Moreover, a complete structural analytical study was performed on the system to ensure its efficiency and reliability in real-world practice. While additional studies and evaluations are required before working on human implantation, this novel idea shows considerable promise in enhancing the safety and accuracy of TIVAPS implementation in clinical settings.
