Infusion Pumps, Fluid Delivery Equipment, Programmable Syringe Pump Rental

Infusion Pump for Rent | Ambulatory Pump Rentals | Fluid Delivery Systems

Injection pumps, also known as infusion or syringe pumps, deliver medication intravenously.  The medication is ordered and infused to the patient over a period of time.  These pumps can be used for several purposes such as delivering fluids, nutrients, insulin and other medications or pain relievers, and feeding tubes.  Using this type of portable equipment can leave you free to accomplish other tasks while the pump delivers the medication or formula that is needed.

Infusion Pump Rental

Infusion Pump Rentals: An infusion pump delivers large or small amounts of fluid, nutrients or medication such as insulin or other hormones, antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs and pain relievers, into a patient’s circulatory system. It is generally used intravenously.  Occasionally, subcutaneous, arterial and epidural infusions are also used.  Some infusion pumps are designed mainly for stationary use at a patient’s bedside but others, called ambulatory infusion pumps, are designed to be portable and wearable.

Syringe Pump Rentals

Syringe Pump Rental: Infusion pumps can administer fluids in a controlled manner and by ways that  could be expensive or potentially unreliable if performed manually .  They can administer as little as 0.1 mL per hour injection (too small for a drip), injection every minute, injections with repeated administration of the medicine as requested by the patient up to maximum number per hour, or fluids whose volume requirements vary by the time of day.

There are several types of infusion pumps:

Continuous Infusion – consists of small pulses of infusion depending on the pump’s design.  The rate of  these pulses depends on the programmed infusion speed.                                         

Intermittent Infusion  - has a “high” infusion rate that alternates with a low infusion rate.  Both timings are programmable.

Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA)  - is infusion on-demand.  It allows a patient to self-administer pain medication in controlled amounts as needed. 

Total Parenteral Nutrition – usually requires an infusion curve similar to normal mealtimes.  This is used when no food is given by other routes and a nutrient solution is dripped directly into a vein.

Enteral Pump – used to deliver liquid nutrients and medications to a patient’s digestive tract.
