Cranial access port system

An access port system for positioning in a hard tissue, the system comprising:

• an access port comprising a tubular portion having a first end and a second end, the first end having an uneven surface, a second end having a threaded portion, a longitudinal axis, and a first lumen and a second lumen extending through the tubular portion;
• a conduit having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the conduit is configured for positioning over the uneven surface on the first end;
• a negative pressure source configured for fluidly coupling to the tubular portion, wherein the negative pressure source is configured to draw suction through the first lumen;
• and
• at least one wing extending orthogonally outwardly from the tubular portion, wherein the at least one wing comprises a concave surface on a first side and a convex surface on a second side opposite to the first side, such the concave surface is positioned to allow pushing on the concave surface to rotate the access port in a thread direction of the threaded portion when the cranial access port is positioned in the hard tissue;
• and
• a flushing source configured for fluidly coupling to the tubular portion for delivery of a fluid through the tubular portion.

An access port for positioning in a tissue and for use with a negative pressure source having a conduit and a flushing source, the access port comprising:

• a tubular portion having a first end and a second end, the first end having an uneven surface configured to retain the conduit about the first end, the second end having a threaded portion and configured for insertion into the tissue;
• a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end;
• a first lumen extending through the tubular portion, wherein the first lumen tapers such that a first diameter of the lumen at the first end is greater than a second diameter of the lumen at the second end;
• and
• at least one wing extending orthogonally outwardly from the tubular portion, wherein the at least one wing comprises a concave surface positioned to allow pushing on the concave surface to rotate the access port in a thread direction of the threaded portion when the access port is positioned in the hard tissue.
