Port Protect® helps caregivers make port access days easier; with a simple, mess-free device that keeps numbing cream exactly where it needs to be.
When someone you love is going through treatment, you want to do everything in your power to help. You drive them to appointments. You sit with them during infusions. You research side effects at 2 a.m. And on access days, you watch them wince at the needle; and wish you could take that pain away.
If you’re caring for someone with a chest port, Port Protect is one of the most practical things you can do to make their treatment days easier. It’s a simple, patented device that holds numbing cream securely in place over the port site, replacing the messy plastic wrap method that rarely works well.
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.
Peel the adhesive backing.
Place over the chest port.
Add the numbing cream.
For parents of children with ports, the difference can be dramatic. Instead of a stressful, tearful pre-appointment routine involving plastic wrap and a squirming child, Port Protect offers a quick, calm application that actually keeps the cream in place. Children often feel less anxious when the preparation itself feels gentle and controlled.
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 help take away some of the pain.
Port Protect is available in adult (3.5”) and children’s (2.7”) sizes, sold in 5-packs and 10-packs.
One of the most practical things you can do is help with infusion day preparation. Apply Port Protect and numbing cream for your loved one 30 to 60 minutes before their appointment, pack their infusion bag with comfort items and snacks, drive them to the infusion center, and sit with them during treatment. Port Protect makes the numbing preparation simple for any caregiver.
Yes. Port Protect is a practical and thoughtful addition to a cancer care package. Unlike many gifts that are well-meaning but not directly useful during treatment, Port Protect solves a specific daily frustration—keeping numbing cream in place over the port. Patients consistently describe it as something they wish they’d discovered sooner.
Yes. Port Protect is designed to be easy for anyone to apply. Peel the adhesive backing, place the device over the patient’s chest port, apply numbing cream into the opening, and close the lid.
