Abstract
A continuous subcutaneous infusion catheter includes an elongate flexible cannula and a plurality of holes through the cannula wall that are positioned both along the axial length of the cannula and radially around the cannula. The proximal end of the cannula is configured to be attached to a pump, and the distal end of the flexible cannula is atraumatic. The catheter can be used to deliver insulin to a patient.
