[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2018737, member: 468714"] The infusion part of the tubing stuck to the skin where the cannula is under the skin and where the tubing to the pump is detached from or nearby might cause chafing to one's partner and so may need to be covered. And also because there is some risk of that cannula being dislodged - modesty prevents me from providing more detail !! The answers above I am assuming are for pumps that are not directly attached to one's skin (what we call 'tubey' pumps, such as Medtronic, Tandem). See their sites for details Non-tubey pumps such as the Omnipod cannot be detached without having to replace the pump reservoir/pump (sometimes called a 'patch' outfit) entirely. So the answer will vary. Any Omnipod wearers out there with an answer ?? The Omnipod site will show you details of how the 'patch' is placed. Tubey pump, the cannula sticky bit in the.....................a cannula picture on left is separate to the connection...................with connection part (going to the pump) seen in the second picture......piece directly connected, no tubing in between ..............................................................................................compared to the first two pictures [ATTACH]32085[/ATTACH] ................[ATTACH]32086[/ATTACH] ..................................[ATTACH]32087[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
