Subject: ChemPort and PermCath--is this right?

My eyesight is going because I've been squinting for 20 minutes trying to find either of these in my black surgical word book with no luck. If anyone knows what these are or a reliable website to find out, please let me know. I guess I should have sprung for the more expensive book with bigger print...
