Tubeless insulin pumps deliver insulin directly under the skin without the use of tubing. This is the key difference between tubeless pumps and traditional insulin pumps.
Here's a breakdown:
Traditional insulin pumps use tubing to connect an insulin reservoir to a catheter inserted under the skin. However, according to information available, tubeless pumps eliminate the tubing altogether. Instead, the pump, containing the insulin reservoir, attaches directly to the skin.
| Feature | Traditional Pump | Tubeless Pump |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Tubing from reservoir to catheter | Direct attachment to skin, no tubing |
| Insulin Delivery | Via tubing | Directly from the pump to the skin |
| Convenience | Tubing can be cumbersome | More freedom of movement |
In summary, tubeless insulin pumps offer a more convenient and discreet way to deliver insulin by directly connecting to the skin, eliminating the need for external tubing.
