Just one application every three days

i-Port Advance™ injection port is easy to apply. It includes a built-in inserter, which gives you a quick application. Only a soft flexible tube, called a cannula stays under the skin. Once applied, you inject your medication through the port instead of your skin (no medication is stored inside the device2).

i-Port Advance™ injection port is small and discreet, and sticks to you like an adhesive bandage.

Just one application every three days.

Imagine only 1 puncture every 3 days

You can easily take multiple injections with just one application.

i-Port Advance Injection vs Standard Shots

Reduce the number of punctures from up to 15 to 1 over three days.

8 things you probably don't know about i-Port Advance™ injection port


It’s a small and discrete patch that sticks to you like an adhesive bandage. You change the port every three days. This means you don’t need to poke your skin every single time you need to take a shot.

  • Those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and are not ready for a pump.
  • Also, if you have type 2 diabetes and are new to taking insulin, this is a great way to improve the transition to taking shots.
  • Anyone who experiences the emotional challenges of shots like fear, anxiety, and stress or the physical impact of shots like bruising, scarring, or pain.
  • It’s especially beneficial to children and their loved ones, who often get anxiety when it’s time to take a shot.

If you take an average of five shots a day, you can reduce the number of times you poke yourself from 150 to 10 in just 1 month! That’s 93% less pokes.

The built-in serter will guide the application process. Click here for the instructional video. The abdomen, upper thighs, back of arms, hips, and upper buttocks are all good locations. Once the port is applied, you can put the needle of your syringe or pen through the port any time you need a shot.

You can continue your activities like exercising, sleeping and bathing as you normally would.

You can use the port with pens or syringes. Needles need to be 5-8mm (3/16-5/16”) in length and 32-28 gauge.

In a patient survey: 98% think it’s comfortable to wear, 99% say that it’s more beneficial than shots, and 100% reported that it helps decrease anxiety2.

You can experience the port for $30.00 per box3. Ordering is easy; just enroll in our subscription program with free monthly shipping. A reimbursement tool kit is also available if you want to request coverage with your insurance.
