ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for catheterization is provided. The method and apparatus are particularly suited for bone catheterization, i.e. access to an internal cavity of an animal, by means of a bone associated therewith. The preferred apparatus includes a tap arrangement and a cannula arrangement, provided in fluid flow communication with one another. The tap arrangement is constructed and arranged for anchoring within a bone, in fluid flow communication with the cavity. The cannula is preferably oriented for fluid flow access therewith, from a remote location. In preferred applications, the cannula arrangement is provided in communication with a medical access port and/or infusion pump arrangement. A preferred tool is described, for implanting the apparatus in a bone of the subject.
