Omnipod DASH Pods – Tubeless Insulin Delivery for Seamless Diabetes Management
Long-Form Product Description:
The Omnipod DASH Pods are part of the advanced Omnipod DASH Insulin Management System, designed to offer tubeless, discreet, and hassle-free insulin delivery for people with diabetes. Each pod delivers continuous insulin for up to 72 hours and communicates wirelessly with the Omnipod DASH Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM). Ideal for individuals seeking more flexibility, freedom, and control, these lightweight pods are waterproof and easy to apply on various body locations.
The Omnipod DASH Pods are intended for use by individuals with Type 1 or insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes who require multiple daily injections or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. With a sleek, compact design, each pod contains an internal reservoir, insertion cannula, and automated insertion system, eliminating the need for tubes or manual injections.
This pack includes individually sealed pods, ready to be paired with the Omnipod DASH PDM (sold separately). The system is FDA-approved and widely recognized for enhancing insulin therapy with minimal disruption to daily activities.
