Port Protect holds your numbing cream securely over your chest port — so when your nurse accesses your port, you’re actually numb. The way you were supposed to be.
For many cancer patients, port access pain is one of those things you’re expected to just tolerate. But repeated access takes a toll. Scar tissue builds up. Anxiety compounds. And when the numbing cream doesn’t stay in place, you start to dread even the preparation process.
Port Protect holds numbing cream securely over your chest port, replacing plastic wrap with something that actually works. Apply it at home, drive to your appointment, and arrive ready — cream still in place, port site numb.
Applying Port Protect is easy enough for anyone to do. Peel the adhesive backing, place it over the chest port, add the numbing cream, and close the lid. That’s it. No special training, no mess, no guesswork. You can confidently apply it for your loved one at home before leaving for their appointment, knowing the cream will stay exactly where it needs to be.

Our founder Jamie was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases and spent years dealing with leaking cream, ruined shirts, and port access sessions where she could feel everything. She searched for a better solution and found nothing. So she built one.
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.
You can’t take away the diagnosis. But you can take away some of the pain.

Most chemotherapy patients numb their chest port by applying a topical lidocaine cream 30 to 60 minutes before their infusion appointment. The cream is applied directly over the port and must stay in place for the full duration to work effectively. Port Protect is a patented device that holds the cream securely over the port, replacing the unreliable plastic wrap method.
