Debiotech’s Insulin Nanopump™ is made of two parts: a permanent part that contains the electronics and a disposable part with the reservoir and the pumping mechanism for a week treatment. It has a total volume of 65mm x 38mm x 11mm (27ml) with an insulin reservoir capacity of 4 to 6ml and the permanent part attached. With such a small size, it can be hidden under the clothes and makes the disease almost invisible. Size is often perceived as a major issue for patients: pumps are heavy and cumbersome. The Insulin Nanopump™ is up to four times smaller than today’s pumps, while containing up to twice the amount of insulin, and therefore represents a clear progress for the patients’ Quality of Life.
