An infusion set is a constant connection between your body and an insulin pump. Infusion sets have several components, including a cannula or needle, a site or hub, adhesive dressing, tubing, and a connector to the pump cartridge. The cannula or needle is inserted under the skin using an introducer needle. The site anchors the cannula or needle with an adhesive dressing or tape. Flexible tubing connects the site with the pump, which delivers insulin continually. The Cleo® infusion set has an all-in-one design that includes a housing that acts as the inserter and contains an introducer needle and cannula.
