Sof-Set		Standard & Micro Catheter		QR Connector

The Medtronic Sof-Set subcutaneous infusion sets use a flexible teflon cannula to achieve the ultimate in user comfort and convenience. These are the optimum product for use in any long term subcutaneous application. The recent introduction of the shorter catheter length of the Sof-Set Micro extends the range of applications and provides extra comfort for those of a slimmer build. The Medtronic devices provide for pain free, troublefree insertion of the cannula, even in the most difficult of circumstances.

A published review of some of the benefits of this system is available in the British Journal of Community Nursing, Volume 7 No.7 entitled "Subcutaneous infusion: non-metal cannulae vs metal butterfly needles." A summary of this article is available on www.internurse.com for those who subscribe to the service. This article clearly demonstrates that the soft cannula system provides significantly longer durations for infusion and provides an overall recommendation for the use of non-metal cannulae in preference to standard butterfly systems.

The following table shows the product codes available within this range, which may be quoted for ordering purposes.
