Comfort Infusion Set
MINIMED PUMP USERS— I need opinions on the different infusion sets.?
I am ordering new supplies later today for my MiniMed pump… I think it’s a 511 model. Anyway, I have always used the softset infusion set. Everyone says that is the worst infusion set there is for that pump. There is also the silouette infusion set and the quickset. Does anyone use one of those and tell me what they think? As far as – how easy it is to use it, if it causes bad scars when removed, comfort, etc… My stomach is scarred pretty bad from the softset and would like to change that and how sore it gets… thanks!!
I have been a pump user since 1995 and have used all the above. I favor the silhouette infusion set personally because it lies more flush against the skin and doesn’t catch and possibly snag on clothing like the quick release. Also, I don’t particularly care for the use of poly-skin dressing as it tends to irritate the skin. The silhouette can be quickly released, leaving only the infusion set flush against the skin surface and they come with stopper clips for bathing, but aren’t really necessary. I would cleanse it with an alcohol swab anyway for sterilization though.
Best of luck and I hope your choice works best for you…it’s really a matter of personal preference really.
BTW, you may find more information on these items at www.minimed.com Also, the new 722 is awesome as it has a bolus wizard and is compatible with the Guardian Real Time continuous glucose monitor. It communicates glucose readings directly with your pump and alarms when your glucose levels are too high or too low. There is good information on this at the mini med website. Again, much luck to you…live long and live healthy.
