A system for attaching an access port to bodily tissue includes an access port assembly and in-cluding an access port having a generally central axis (52). The access port assembly further includes an at-tachment mechanism structured to enable the access port to be attached, for example, to an abdominal mus-cle of a patient. The delivery tool (30) includes a handle (90) having a generally longitudinal axis (92) and a de-livery head (96) structured to engage the access port as-sembly, and an activation mechanism (98) for enabling deployment of the attachment mechanism when the de-livery head is so engaged with the access port assembly. The delivery tool is configured such that the longitudi-nal axis of the handle is spaced apart from the generally central axis of the access port when the delivery head is so engaged with the access port assembly.

Linvention concerne un système de fixation dun orifice daccès à un tissu corporel comprenant un ensemble orifice daccès et comprenant un orifice daccès comportant un axe généralement central (52). Lensemble orifice daccès comprend un mécanisme de fixation structuré pour permettre à lorifice dêtre fixé, par exemple, à un muscle abdominal dun patient. Loutil de distribution (30) comprend un manche (90) comportant un axe généralement longitudinal (92) et une tête de distribution (96) structurée pour mettre en prise lensemble orifice daccès et un mécanisme dactivation (98) pour permettre le déploiement du mécanisme de fixation lorsque la tête de distribution est ainsi en prise avec lensemble orifice daccès. Loutil de distribution est configuré de telle sorte que laxe longitudinal du manche soit espacé de laxe généralement central de lorifice daccès lorsque la tête de distribution est ainsi en prise avec lensemble orifice daccès.
