Operation principle

The InsuJet™ operation principle is based on pressure. Insulin is pressed at high speed through a small orifice in the nozzle, creating a fine stream of insulin that easily penetrates the skin. In the subcutaneous layer, the insulin follows the path of least resistance and spreads in a relatively large, cone-like formation. Compared to an injection with a needle based system, where the insulin is merely dispersed in a droplet near the needle opening, the larger dispersion increases the absorption into the circulation. What’s more the rapid uptake of insulin with the InsuJet™ is virtually painless, as the jet itself is thinner than a needle.
