Just one application every three days

i-Port Advance™ injection port is easy to apply. It includes a built-in inserter, which gives you a quick application. Only a soft flexible tube, called a cannula, stays under the skin. Once applied, you inject your medication through the port instead of your skin (no medication is stored inside the device2).

i-Port Advance™ injection port is small and discreet, and sticks to you like an adhesive bandage.

Imagine only one puncture every three days

You can easily take multiple injections with just one application.
