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.
This is called the port. The port is a disc about 2.5â4cm (1â1.5in) in diameter. It can be used to give chemotherapy or medicine into your vein, or to take blood. The tube is usually put in (tunnelled) under the skin of your chest or sometimes in your arm.
