INSULIN PUMP
Most common on the market today are insulin
pumps in beeper-size shapes. At first glance, they
may easily be mistaken for a cell phone. These
pumps carry a cartridge
for insulin, and have a
connector at the end for
attaching infusion set tubing.

TENS UNIT
TENS units consist of a small machine with controls
(about the size of a cell phone), connected by wires
to electrode pads placed appropriately to alleviate
various types of pain. Some units are batteryoperated and small enough to carry in a pocket.
