PRODUCTS - INSULIN PUMP SUPPLIES
We carry all infusion sets and
reservoirs used with insulin pumps
How infusion sets work
Thin, plastic tubing delivers insulin from the
pump to your body. This tubing comes in two
different lengths to accommodate different
needs. At the end of the tubing is a soft,
flexible cannula, which is a small, tapered
tube. With the help of an insertion device, you
insert the cannula under your skin, somewhere
where you'd inject using a syringe - on your
abdomen, thigh or buttocks. This spot is called
your infusion site, and it remains in place for
up to three days. No needle stays under your
skin.
Insulin Reservoirs
Reservoirs are used with your
pump to store insulin. Insulin is drawn form the
reservoir and pumped through the infusion set to
provide basal rate and bolus doses. Reservoirs
come in many different sizes and vary by how
much insulin they can hold. Which reservoir you
should use depends on your daily insulin intake.
