What is subcutaneous infusion?
Subcutaneous infusion continuously delivers medication over a longer period into fatty tissue beneath the skin, where the body absorbs it. A needle penetrates the skin, leaving either the needle or a soft catheter in the tissue for up to 72 hours.
Needles and cannulas can vary in length, size, features and method of insertion. Using an infusion set for continuous subcutaneous infusion requires fewer injections (insertions) compared to injection therapy.
The specific treatment set-up and type of medication is always determined by a healthcare professional.
