Introducing the Mini-Infuser®
The First Wearable Drug Delivery System for Animals
The Mini-Infuser® uses a polymer actuator that we developed to replace all the mechanical components of an infusion pump. The polymer is stored dry in the Mini-Infuser® actuator assembly. When water is introduced, the polymer actuator swells at a very linear rate and creates very high pressure. The high pressure created is transferred to the drug container which then pushes the medication out of the Mini-Infuser ® at a very linear and controlled rate of infusion for animal and veterinary use, without the need for electric motors and mechanical parts.

How It Works

STEP 1: Preparation
- Determine patient weight and drug therapy level
- Use the simple Mini-Infuser® Look-Up Table to prepare 10ml Rx supply
- Inject the 10ml drug/diluent into the pump port using ONLY a 27 ga needle
- Suture, staple, or adhesive tape to the animal’s skin

STEP 2: Infusion
- Insert the subcutaneous catheter into the skin
- Attach the SQ-Catheter Luer Fitting to the pump fitting
- Push the supplied water syringe to start the pump
- Remove the water syringe and tubing
- Close the door to start the timer

STEP 3: Wearability
- Clinical test animals have been ambulatory soon after orthopedic surgery
- Animal can begin movement recovery with the potential to go home
