What is the i-port Advance™?
The i-port Advance™ is a discreet injection port that
comes with an inserter. Applying the injection port is
virtually painless, and results in a comfortable yet
dependable experience. Once applied, you can take
multiple injections for three days without having to
puncture your skin for each dose of medication. It
will even stay on your body while swimming, exercising
or bathing!
Simple to Apply. Easy to Use.
The i-port Advance™ can be used with a syringe or
insulin pen. It allows for multiple daily injections
without repeated skin punctures for up to 3 days and
is suitable for use on both adults and children.
Pull up on center of inserter until locked in upright position.
Place inserter against skin, and squeeze round indentations to insert injection port.
Grab center of inserter only, and gently pull to remove from injection port.
Puncture septum using injection needle to slowly inject medication. Repeat as needed for three days.
Do you alter activities to avoid injections?
In 2008, the AADE commissioned a study that surveyed 502
people living with diabetes and using injection therapy to
manage their condition. The participants revealed how they
alter their eating habits, physical activities, and even social
engagements to avoid taking the injections they need.
Injection Ports can lead to improved A1c
In 2009, a study published in Pediatric Diabetes concluded that
the use of an injection port in some children taking multiple
injections, helped to improve their blood sugar levels by
increasing their compliance with injection therapy and reducing
their A1c from 9.4 to 8.5 over a six month time period.
The i-port Advance™ is ideal for a variety of patient types. Meet two patients:
David H
Age: 52
Diagnosis: Type 2
“ I resisted starting insulin for years
until my doctor recommended the
i-port Advance™. Now, both she and
I are very pleased with the results
I’ve been able to achieve.”
Lindsey N
Age: 16 Diagnosis: Type 1
“ There were times before when diabetes
restricted me. Parents would bring snacks
and food to rehearsals and tennis matches,
but I wouldn’t eat them because I didn’t
want to take extra shots. Now, with the
i-port Advance™ I can enjoy the food because
I don’t mind taking the extra shot, and I feel
just like any other teen in the room!”
