Port Protect is a patented, single-use device that holds topical numbing cream securely over the chest port — so patients arrive adequately numb, every time.
Patients arrive with plastic wrap peeling off their chest, cream smeared across their shirt, and a port site that isn’t adequately numbed. The result: a painful stick, an anxious patient, and a more difficult access procedure for everyone in the room.
Port Protect® is a patented, single-use device constructed with hypoallergenic, medical-grade materials in a certified clean room. Available in adult (3.5″ / 90mm) and pediatric (2.7″ / 68mm) sizes. The pediatric version features a reduced adhesive footprint for added gentleness on young skin.
Cream stays in place for the full 10–60 min recommended window
Patients trust the prep — less pre-procedure stress at access time
Eliminates plastic wrap mess, reducing contamination risk
Simple application means patients actually use numbing cream consistently
Children’s version reduces stress of numbing prep for young patients
Recommended for use with any topical lidocaine or lidocaine-prilocaine cream (prescribed by the patient’s physician, sold separately). Port Protect is not a substitute for proper port access protocol — remove and thoroughly clean the site prior to access.
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.
Port Protect is available in adult (3.5″) and children’s (2.7″) sizes. Sold in 5-packs and 10-packs.
Port Protect is a patented, single-use adhesive device that holds topical numbing cream in place over a patient’s chest port before needle access. Patients apply it at home 30 to 60 minutes before their appointment. The medical-grade, hypoallergenic device creates a sealed reservoir that prevents cream from leaking or shifting, resulting in more consistent topical anesthesia at the time of access.
Port Protect improves numbing consistency by maintaining full cream contact with the port site for the recommended duration. Clinical benefits include more effective topical anesthesia at time of access, reduced patient anxiety, cleaner port sites at presentation, better patient compliance with numbing cream use, and a calmer, faster access procedure for nursing staff.
Yes. Port Protect is available in an adult size (3.5” / 90mm) and a pediatric size (2.7” / 68mm). The pediatric version features a reduced adhesive footprint designed for children’s smaller bodies and more sensitive skin. Both sizes are made with the same hypoallergenic, medical-grade materials in a certified clean room.

Healthcare providers, infusion centers, and oncology practices interested in bulk pricing, product samples, or informational materials for waiting rooms can contact Port Protect directly through port-protect.com/contact-us. The company works with healthcare facilities to make the product accessible to their patient populations.
Yes. Port Protect is compatible with all topical numbing creams including prescription lidocaine-prilocaine formulations such as EMLA, prescription lidocaine creams, and over-the-counter 4% lidocaine products. The device holds any cream formulation in place without affecting its efficacy. Numbing cream is not included and must be prescribed separately.
Port Protect significantly outperforms plastic wrap in holding numbing cream in place. Plastic wrap does not adhere to skin, shifts during patient movement, and allows cream to leak. Port Protect’s medical-grade adhesive creates a sealed reservoir that maintains cream contact with the port site throughout the recommended 30–60 minute application period, resulting in more reliable topical anesthesia.
