I have a Power Port which is amazing.. It works for when you need to get contrast for IVs, and for me that is really important because I get bowel obstructions a lot and I am always getting Catscans..

If you are not someone who is prone to needing Catscans I would look into the double port, this way you can do two lines running it at once which would save a lot of time in the long run...
