The ACCU-CHEK  Tender infusion set is a 30-45° insertion infusion set with a soft Teflon® cannula for comfort. A transparent window is built into the ACCU-CHEK Tender infusion sets hypoallergenic cotton adhesive base, which allows the wearer to easily detect inflammation at the infusion site. ACCU-CHEK Tender infusion sets also feature PVC-free double-layer tubing with an inner layer of polyethylene, and an outer layer of polyurethane. The polyethylene allows for minimal filling volume, the polyurethane gives skin-friendliness.

Disconnection with the ACCU-CHEK Tender infusion set couldn't be simpler. The connection slides into and out of the base with an audible <<click>> which allows for safe connection without looking at the infusion site.

The ACCU-CHEK  Tender infusion set is also available in a 13mm "mini" size -- a shorter-cannula version of our popular ACCU-CHEK Tender infusion set. ACCU-CHEK Tender "mini's" infusion set 13mm cannula is nearly 25% shorter than the 17mm cannula in the original ACCU-CHEK Tender infusion set. Since it is 4mm shorter, ACCU-CHEK Tender "mini" infusion sets may seem less intimidating to patients when compared to the longer 17mm cannula. What's more, the shorter cannula may allow a more appropriate insertion angle for those who can't insert the regular-size ACCU-CHEK Tender infusion set at the suggested 30-degree angle due to minimal subcutaneous tissue.

ACCU-CHEK  Tender and ACCU-CHEK Tender "mini" infusion sets are designed to work with all standard luer lock insulin pumps, including Medtronic MiniMed 504 - 508 pumps, Animas pumps and Smiths-Deltec pumps. ACCU-CHEK Tender and ACCU-CHEK Tender "mini" are not compatible with Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm® series pumps, nor are they compatible with insertion devices like the Sil-serter.

ACCU-CHEK T  Tender 2  and ACCU-CHEK T Tender 2 "mini" infusion sets

Both ACCU-CHEK Tender and ACCU-CHEK Tender "mini" infusion sets may be purchased in complete sets or in sets with extra cannula bases. The ACCU-CHEK Tender infusion sets have a built-in injection guide and are therefore compatible with both pens and syringes, in case the user would occasionally like to inject through the infusion site without having to make an additional insertion. Plus, unlike other similar infusion sets, the at-base disconnection of the Tender leaves no extra "pig tail" of tubing, reducing the risk of catching on clothing and dislodgement.
