If you use an insulin pump, what infusion set do you use? Poll dates: December 8 - December 15, 2002 Total Votes: 441 Insulin pump users have several infusion sets to choose from. Most are using either the Quick-Set or the Silhouette / Tender / Comfort (same product, different names). The Quick-Set goes straight in (90 degrees). The inserter needles is removed, leaving only a Teflon canula under the skin. The Silhouette / Tender / Comfort goes in at an angle, and its inserter needle is also removed. Both of these sets disconnects at the site. All pumps (with the exception of the Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm) have a standard connector for the infusion set and can therefore use any infusion set, regardless of who makes it. The Paradigm has a unique connector and can take only infusion sets specially made for it. Infusion sets also come in varying depths to accommodate different skin types. If you've always used the same infusion set, or were unaware of the other infusion sets, you might want to talk with your diabetes team about the various infusion sets that are now available.
