Nice product. Worked well. Way better than plastic on my chest.
Service was excellent! It has made my treatments and port access so much easier — even for the nurses. Thank you!
The quality is *chef’s kiss*. I have fallen in love with this product — it helps so much beforehand. The customer service was phenomenal. I’ll definitely be buying again.
All the nurses rave about this thing. It’s super neat and very helpful when applying lidocaine.
Every nurse was so impressed with the Port Protect, and it made life easier when it was needed most!
This made my first port access go amazingly! I didn’t feel a thing, and I wasn’t covered with cream everywhere other than where I needed it to be. I’m *super* sensitive to adhesives and was really worried about this, but my skin didn’t react at all. Amazing purchase.

Port Protect is a patented, medical-grade adhesive device that holds numbing cream securely in place over a chest port before needle access. It replaces the unreliable plastic wrap method, preventing cream from leaking or shifting so patients arrive at infusion appointments properly numbed. Port Protect is available in adult (3.5”) and children’s (2.7”) sizes.
Port Protect works in three simple steps. First, peel the adhesive backing and place the device over your chest port. Second, apply a generous amount of numbing cream into the reservoir. Third, close the lid and go. The sealed design keeps the cream in direct contact with the skin over your port for 10 to 60 minutes, ensuring effective numbing before your appointment.
Port Protect is designed for adults and children who have an implanted chest port. Common users include cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, autoimmune patients receiving IVIG or biologic infusions, kidney dialysis patients, and anyone requiring frequent blood draws or IV medications through a port. It is also suitable for procedures like bone marrow biopsies and lumbar punctures.
Yes. Port Protect is made from hypoallergenic, medical-grade materials and manufactured in a certified clean room. It was designed by a patient with severe allergies specifically to be gentle on sensitive, treatment-affected skin. While no product can guarantee zero irritation for every individual, thousands of patients with sensitive skin have used Port Protect without issues.
Port Protect is sold in two pack sizes: a 5-pack for $24.95 and a 10-pack for $47.90. Both adult and children’s sizes are available at the same price. Orders ship worldwide from port-protect.com.
Port Protect is purpose-built to seal numbing cream over a chest port, while plastic wrap is a kitchen product that does not adhere to skin and cannot maintain a reliable seal. Port Protect is hypoallergenic, medical-grade, leak-free, and designed for one-time sterile use. Plastic wrap shifts, leaks, and frequently results in inadequate numbing.
