Insulin pump without tube
Insulin pump without tubing: How does it work? Learn more about tubeless insulin delivery and Omnipod®.
Omnipod® insulin pump system
Several different insulin pumps are available to use. With most of them you insert a needle through your skin and attach a tube (infusion set) to the insulin pump, which also is the controller. A pump with tubing should be disconnected for swimming and showers and there is a risk for the tube to tangle and get stuck in other things. There are also tubeless insulin pumps that you attach directly on your body that have a wireless controller. Our pumps, Omnipod DASH and the Omnipod 5 System are tubeless insulin pump systems that can give you continuous insulin delivery. The Pod is waterproof* and there is no need to disconnect for shower or swimming. This type of insulin delivery system is simple, discreet and can provide freedom to the user.
Omnipod® DASH
Omnipod DASH is a simple tubeless insulin delivery system consisting of 2 parts, the Pod and the Personal Diabetes Manager, PDM. It is an easy and flexible way of taking your insulin and take control of you insulin dosing. The insulin doses are easily programmed in the PDM that controls the Pod. You can pre set bolusdoses or use the bolus calculator with or without carbohydrate counting. The Pod delivers the programmed insulin delivery in up to 72 hours without interruptions. It is simple and discreet to use.
The Omnipod® 5 System
Omnipod 5 is a tubeless system for autoamted insulin delivery compatible with 2 different Sensor brands**. It consists of three parts, The Pod, a compatible Sensor and the Contoller. The Sensor and the Pod communicated directly and adjusts insulin delivery every 5 minutes to keep the user in target range. The user still needs to initiate insulin doses for meals or high glucose values if desired. The Omnipod 5 System provides the advantages of automated insulin delivery and is easy to use.
*The Pod is IP28 rated and tested waterproof for 60 minutes and 7,6 meters. The Omnipod DASH-PDM and the Omnipod 5 Controller are not waterproof. ** A seperate prescription is needed for the Sensor. Sensors are sold separately
