i-port injection port
I've heard about the i-port injection port some time ago and thought I should try it out.So because I like sticking holes into my abdomen, here's what the i-port looks like in action.
I know the picture is a bit fuzzy. The i-port is on the left of the image; my dexcom receive and pump insert are on the right.
I visited my endo last week and I got some i-port starter kits while I was there. I wanted to try it out as if I was really using it for injections. This isn't a full review, more on that later.
Even though this isn't me on the left, it really does work like this. I'm using standard insulin syringes with a 28-gauge 1/2" needle, and I've had no pain when injecting with it. I'm doing this 4-5 times a day (and I am using saline).One really nice surprise (for me) is that much of the packaging for the i-port is recyclable. The two pieces of transparent plastic are labeled as HDPE (#2).
I'll try and get more information about the i-port for my full review. In the meantime, the i-port people have a FAQ page that you may find useful.
