Summary:An injection port system 50 for placement in or on an individual includes a first port 55 defining a first injection chamber 58 with a septum 59, and a tubular securing device 38 for securing said first injection chamber to bone 52 of the individual. The injection port system 50 also comprises a second port 62 defining a second injection chamber 65 with a septum 66, the first port 55 being mechanically connected to the second port 62. The second port 62 is linked by a catheter 68 to a blood vessel. A needle inserted through the septum 59 enables material to be injected into or removed from the bone marrow 60, for example injecting chemotherapeutic agents, or stem cells, or withdrawing bone marrow for analysis; a needle inserted though septum 66 allows therapeutic fluids to be directly supplied to the blood system, and blood samples to be taken for monitoring. The first and second ports may be part of the same unitary housing, with a raised bump to feel where the transition is; or the first and second ports may be clipped together.
