Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to delivering liquid compositions to an interior site in the body. More particularly, the present invention provides devices, systems, and methods for facilitating percutaneous access to an implantable port for performing peritoneal dialysis in a sterile condition. In one aspect, the present invention provides an apparatus for use in peritoneal dialysis comprising a first container and a second container, wherein at least one of the containers is filled with unused dialysis fluid. The first and second containers are fluidly coupled by a first tube and a second tube to a junction, respectively. A single common tube fluidly coupled to the junction provides a fluid pathway to a percutaneous access member connected to the end of the single common tube. The access member has a minimum bore diameter of 1.16 mm capable of providing high volumetric flow rates.
