Insulin infusion pumps

Diabetes is a medical disease in which the pancreas produces less insulin or stops producing the hormone altogether. If diagnosed, the doctor prescribes regular injections. Thanks to modern technology, manufacturers have created insulin pumps. A small electronic device simulates the functioning of the pancreas. 

Insulin pumps: types and advantages

Insulin pumps, regardless of price, consist of a control unit with a battery, a reservoir and a device for injecting insulin. Traditional models have a long, flexible plastic tube to connect to a cannula that is inserted under the skin. There are also patch pumps. The devices are more compact and are controlled by a contactless controller. Devices of any type have a number of advantages:

• flexible correction of insulin;

• no injections;

• the possibility of administering small doses;

• improved quality of life;

• compliance with the physiologic mode of hormone secretion;

• high accuracy compared to syringe pens;

• data storage in the memory of the device.

Multifunctional pumps monitor sugar levels in real time displaying data on the screen. In case of approaching dangerous glycemia level, the device gives a warning sound signal. Within an hour, the device conducts about 1200 measurements of blood glucose. 

Features of using an insulin pump

Before you buy insulin pumps, you should learn about the conditions for using the devices. Insulin is injected under the skin using a special infusion cannula. The hormone is used with short or ultra-short action.

New and used insulin pumps are safe, reliable devices that are discreetly attached to the abdomen, lateral surface, shoulder, hip, buttocks, without causing discomfort.
