Re: Sub Q needles for pain management

[Martha Pike]

Go to the Medtronic / MiniMed site and you will find several options. http://www.minimed.com Click on the tab for Product Information (along the top of the page) Then click on the tab for Infusion Sets (along the left side of the page) You will then see a list of the various sets in the left side menu. There are two or three plastic cannula options including the Sof-set. If you are using this in a setting where OSHA regs apply, I think that the only set that has any needle safety features is the Quick-set. /Martha - Boston On Feb 1, 2006, at 9:51 AM, Hamblin, Richelle wrote: Can anyone help me find a manufacturer for sub Q needles. Many moons ago in home care we used a device that the needle was removed leaving a plastic cannula in the tissue. I think it was called a soft set. I have not been able to locate any information and our hospital would like to use sub q pain meds when PO or IV is not an option for palliative care
