Company Overview
Insulet Corporation, founded in 2000, and headquartered in Massachusetts, is an innovative medical device company dedicated to simplifying life for people with diabetes and other conditions through its Omnipod product platform, which is now available in 20+ countries around the globe. The Omnipod Insulin Management System provides a unique alternative to traditional insulin delivery methods. With its simple, wearable design, the disposable Pod provides up to three days of non-stop insulin delivery, without the need to see or handle a needle. Insulet also leverages the unique design of its Pod by tailoring its Omnipod technology platform for the delivery of non-insulin subcutaneous drugs across other therapeutic areas.
The Omnipod System is discreet and an easy-to-use system that eliminates many of the issues associated with conventional pumps. Improvements include Omnipod’s lack of tubing, automated, virtually pain free insertion, and two straightforward parts that communicate wirelessly. By breaking down the barriers to insulin pump therapy, Insulet hopes to provide both a superior treatment option and lifelong health benefits for people with diabetes.
