If you have problems inserting quickly, try Method 2 described in the package insert. Bends can be caused by either improper insertion or dislodging of the tape due to poor sticking. You can stabilize the cannula to prevent dislodging of the tape by using a second piece of tape that covers the needle hub. This can be particularly useful during exercise and sports when perspiration may reduce tapes' sticking properties. This helps make sure the cannula stays in place as the introducer needle is taken out.
Proper technique is vital.
Review instructions in the package insert. Set A small number of people experience discomfort when first inserting the infusion set. Although rare, this problem is important to address since it would be a problem with conventional injections as well. Some nurses recommend rubbing the area with ice to numb it slightly before inserting the needle. The cream is applied one hour before the infusion set and washed off just before inserting the infusion set.
