An implanted venous access port with a subcutaneous reservoir is designed for long-term use and repeated access. The catheter from the port goes into a central vein, commonly the left subclavian, and the reservoir sits under the skin so clinicians can access it with a non-coring needle for meds or draws. This setup distinguishes it from catheters that exit directly through a line (central venous catheters) or peripheral lines that don’t have a skin reservoir (PICC lines). Port devices like Mediport are specifically the implanted type with a reservoir, which is why this option best fits the description.
