Elastomeric pump

The required pressure for administering the drug comes from the elastomeric layer that is molded inside the pump.

The elastic constriction drives the liquid through the tubing and eventually through a flow restrictor out into the patient connection.

When placed above or below the patient, the flow rate is typically increased or decreased slightly (head height effect).

Elastomeric pumps are maintenance-free, run independently without any electronics, and are single-use disposable.

This type of pump is ideal for outpatients or patients that require a high level of mobility.
