Step 1

Injection port

An injection port is a medical tool used to inject insulin or another medicine that has been approved by a doctor into the subcutaneous tissue (the tissue layer just below the skin). Except that it is constructed to receive a syringe rather than a tube system, the device is similar to injected sets used by implantable devices. An injection port is often a temporary, patient-applied device that is kept for one to three days. The needle stays above the skin's surface when giving shots through an injection port. A small soft needle is used to provide medicine. People with diabetes can utilise an injection port in addition with many daily doses of insulin.
