Bent Cannulas Are Silently Blocking Your Insulin

A simple, reusable tool that stops cannula dislodgement at every infusion set change — designed by a T1D pump user who got tired of wondering why his glucose kept rising

Keep Your Cannula Fully Seated — Every Single Time

The Cannula Tape Securing Tool fits around the hard cannula hub and presses down on the tape and skin during needle withdrawal — preventing tenting and keeping your soft Teflon cannula exactly where it needs to be, subcutaneously.

Withdrawing the Introducer Needle Causes Tenting — and Bent Cannulas

As the introducer needle is pulled back, friction drags on the tape and skin, lifting them slightly — a phenomenon called tenting. This pulls the soft Teflon cannula partially or completely out of position. The cannula bends. Insulin flow is blocked. And you won't know until your CGM trend line starts climbing, sometimes hours later. The Cannula Tape Securing Tool applies counter-pressure to keep the tape and skin flat while the needle withdraws — so your cannula stays seated and your insulin flows.

Watch how the Cannula Tape Securing Tool prevents tenting and keeps your cannula perfectly seated during every infusion set change.
