Medtronic Australasia Pty. Ltd. specialises in diabetes care solutions including insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring systems. Their infusion sets are suitable even for lean and old people as well as those with less dexterity. These infusion sets are easy to use, convenient and comfortable to wear for the user. Diabetes infusion sets have plastic tubing that delivers insulin from the pump to the body directly. This tubing comes in two different lengths to accommodate different patient needs. At the end of the tubing is a soft, flexible cannula, which can be inserted with the help of an insertion device under the skin. These infusion sets are unique as they can stay at the infusion site for up to 3 days.
Inserting the cannula under the skin is made easier by infusion devices provided by the company. These tools also ensure that the cannula is inserted at consistent depth that promotes predictable absorption of insulin. Compared to manual insertion, these devices are simple and virtually pain-free. These infusion sets can help in easily disconnecting the insulin pumps from the body at the infusion site or at sites away from the body. The cannula lengths and angles can be chosen based on the body type. As the cannula resides in the layer of body fat between the skin and muscle and can be placed at varying angles, slender, normal as well as large built patients can use these infusion sets effectively. Additionally, infusion tubing used with these infusion sets reduces the likelihood of kinks and ensures insulin delivery is not interrupted.
