Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

This soft stomach replica will be an invaluable tool for teaching patients how to correctly insert and rotate the insulin pump infusion set, avoiding the 5 cm area around the umbilicus, as well as how to give self injections of many types, including pen injections.

The injection belly is considered disposable, however, with proper care and treatment it will serve its purpose for a long period of time. Using the smallest possible needles when simulating injections and rotating the insertion points will help prolong the life of the trainer.
