A catheter port assembly (100) having a body (101) having a distal end (110), a proximal end (120) and a longitudinal channel (116,124,136) extending therethrough is disclosed. The catheter port assembly further comprises a valve (150) disposed along the longitudinal channel. The valve (150) is adapted to restrict flow in at least one direction, and the distal end (110) is adapted to be connected to a catheter (200). The distal end (110) is adapted to be at least partially subcutaneously inserted into a patient after being connected to a catheter, and the proximal end (120) is adapted to be connected to an extracorporeal device. A distal cover (170) is disclosed to assure the connection of the port to the distal end of the catheter. Additionally, a bracket (190) is disclosed that stabilizes a plurality of catheter port assemblies after insertion into a patient. The present invention also discloses a method of inserting a catheter assembly comprising including the catheter port assembly.
