The Pod’s adhesive keeps it securely in place for up to
3 days. However, if necessary, several products are
available to enhance adhesion. Ask your healthcare
provider about these products. Avoid getting body
lotion, creams, or oils near the infusion site; these
products may loosen the adhesive.
The adhesive is designed for one-time use. Once
removed, a Pod cannot be reapplied.
