Sertable® Infusion Sets: Comfort for Every Body
Because comfort while wearing an insulin pump is so important, Medtronic Diabetes offers a complete line of Sertable infusion sets for different sizes, shapes and types of people. Our designs reflect more than 20 years of customer feedback. We listened to what pump users wanted and then invented the features to meet those needs - which is why our infusion sets are so easy to use, convenient and comfortable to wear.
How infusion sets work
Thin, plastic tubing delivers insulin from the pump to your body. This tubing comes in two different lengths to accommodate different needs. At the end of the tubing is a soft, flexible cannula, which is a small, tapered tube. With the help of an insertion device, you insert the cannula under your skin, somewhere where you'd inject using a syringe - on your abdomen, thigh or buttocks. This spot is called your infusion site, and it remains in place for up to three days. No needle stays under your skin.
