The SmartPort injectable port family is designed for extended life, while our Vortex port technology provides better patient outcomes, fewer complications, less nursing time, and lower expenses compared to conventional ports.
The SmartPort+ implantable port is the latest in implantable port innovation from AngioDynamics and combines Vortex and Endexo technology into the port your patient deserves.
The SmartPort+ implantable port is for patients whose providers require long-term access to the central venous system for blood specimen withdrawal and administration of fluids.
The SmartPort+ implantable port improves on standard implantable ports with:
Vortex Technology – The port’s round chamber and tangential outlet create a flushing action within the port to hyper-cleanse the entire chamber, which showed a 73% reduction in the rate of occlusions and 69% fewer secondary interventions in a clinical study1.The round chamber allows fluid to reach all surfaces in the chamber, helping eliminate dead spaces and resisting sludge build-up, while reducing the potential for occlusions
A BioFlo Catheter with Endexo Technology – Endexo Technology is a permanent, non-eluting polymer that is “blended” into our proprietary BioFlo catheters. Endexo Technology is utilized throughout the catheter including the extraluminal, intraluminal and catheter tip surfaces. Endexo Technology remains present for the life of the catheter, making the catheter more resistant to thrombus accumulation2
Indicated for Power-Injections – The ability to perform power-injections of contrast media for the purpose of CT imaging
Superior CT Identification – All SmartPort+ models can be identified by the Smart Angle identifier technology on the CT and CT Low-Profile power-injectable port models. The CT engraving on all models can be seen through chest X-ray or scout scan
To provide convenience and ease for patients with AngioDynamics implantable ports, AngioDynamics offers a Port Patient App for mobile devices. The app is available from Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS. It can be found by searching for “AngioDynamics” from any mobile device.
The Port Patient App is a repository of useful information that is needed during medical visits, including the model of the patient’s port, maximum pressures and flow rates for their port, product support information, and important dates such as implantation and previous procedure dates.

The SmartPort CT power-injectable ports offer a tangential outlet and clear-flow technology allowing efficient flushing action to hyper cleanse the entire reservoir. Each model features a lightweight design and a CT-engraved port body for better identification. These ports are clinically indicated for power-injections up to 5mL/sec and a 300-psi pressure limit setting. They are MRI-conditional – 3 Tesla.
Vortex Technology – The port’s round chamber and tangential outlet create a flushing action within the port to hyper-cleanse the entire chamber, which showed a 73% reduction in the rate of occlusions and 69% fewer secondary interventions in a clinical study1. The round chamber allows fluid to reach all surfaces in the chamber, helping eliminate dead spaces and resisting sludge build-up, while reducing the potential for occlusions
Off-set Outlet – Set at a tangent rather than perpendicular, it helps to create a flushing action within the port to hyper cleanse the entire chamber which led to decreased sludge build-up and reduced rate of occlusions in a clinical study1. Use of Vortex port technology has been shown to result in an average savings per patient of $1,224 over conventional ports3
