The data suggest that the infusion set prototype elicits less inflammation over an extended wear time and is resistant to kinking, compared with a commercial Teflon device. This is consistent with previously published data on the impact of cannula material/angle on the inflammatory tissue response. We highlight the following important aspects of infusion set design: (1) secure skin adhesion, (2) reliable cannula insertion, (3) automatic removal of the stylet, (4) cannula material/design that resists kinking, and (5) minimization of local tissue inflammation.
