ABSTRACT:
An electrical access port assembly includes an access port unit which is surgically implantable in the body of a patient and a pair of conductive needles which are operative for supplying electrical energy to the access port unit. The access port unit includes a body portion having a pair of access openings therein, a pair of penetrable elastomeric septa in the access openings, and an interior partition which divides the interior of the body portion into a pair of enclosed interior cavities, each of which is accessible through one of the penetrable septa. The access port unit further icludes an electrical contact in each of the cavities and a conductor wire attached to each of the contacts. The septa of the access port unit are self-sealingly penetrable by the conductive needles to electrically connect the needles to the contacts in the cavities in order to supply electrical energy to a predetermined location in the body of the patient through the conductor wires.
