i-Port AdvanceTM injection port

Less pain.1 More comfort.2

It takes the shots for you

i-Port AdvanceTM injection port lets you take your medication without having to puncture your skin for each shot. It’s easy to apply and easy to use. The port can be worn for up to three days and during all normal activities, including exercising, sleeping, and bathing.

Just one application every three days

i-Port AdvanceTM injection port is easy to apply. It includes a built-in inserter, which gives you a quick application. Only a soft flexible tube, called a cannula, stays under the skin. Once applied, you inject your medication through the port instead of your skin (no medication is stored inside the device2).

i-Port Advance is small and discreet, and sticks to you like an adhesive bandage.

Add icon collapse icon

Who should consider i-Port AdvanceTM injection port?

Add icon collapse icon
  • Those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes who are not ready for a pump.
  • Also, if you have type 2 diabetes and are new to taking insulin, this is a great way to improve the transition to taking shots.
  • Anyone who experiences the emotional challenges of shots like fear, anxiety, and stress or the physical impact of shots like bruising, scarring, or pain.
  • It’s especially beneficial to children and their loved ones, who often get anxiety when it’s time to take a shot.

How does it change my experience with shots?

Add icon collapse icon

If you take an average of five shots a day, you can reduce the number of times you poke yourself from 150 to 10 in just one month! That’s 93% less pokes.

How and where do I apply the injection port to my body?

Add icon collapse icon

The built-in serter will guide the application process. Click here for the instructional video. The abdomen, upper thighs, back of arms, hips, and upper buttocks are all good locations. Once the port is applied, you can put the needle of your syringe or pen through the port any time you need a shot.

Does it matter if I use a pen or syringe?

Add icon collapse icon

You can use the port with pens or syringes. Needles need to be 5–8 mm (3/16-5/16”) in length and 32–28 gauge.

How much will it cost me?

Add icon collapse icon

You can experience the port for $30.00 per box.3 Ordering is easy; just enroll in our subscription program with free monthly shipping. A reimbursement toolkit is also available if you want to request coverage with your insurance.
