Therapy Areas

We’ve seen significant innovation in drug therapies over the past twenty years due to advances in medical technology and drug discovery. Some of the changes include biologics, immunotherapy, and gene therapy.

Infusion, as a means of therapy delivery, has been an integral part of these advances in treatment. The prevalence of these new treatments has also meant that precision and ambulatory infusion techniques have also become commonplace.

Chemotherapy

Acording to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that there were approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases in the United States in 2021. Chemotherapy is a typical treatment selected for many cancer cases, and a common delivery for these drugs is intravenous infusion.

Chemotherapy is often given in outpatient settings such as oncology clinics or hospital infusion centers.

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN)

Some people are affected with conditions that create an inability to eat or digest food properly. These conditions can include severe intestinal disorders, post-operative effects on the digestive system, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, severe malnutrition, and certain types of cancer treatments. For these individuals Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) can be a lifesaving treatment since they are unable to obtain the nutrients they need through oral or enteral (tube feeding) routes. TPN is delivered directly into the bloodstream intravenously, and provides all the necessary nutrients that the body needs to function properly. Effective TPN requires an infusion pump like Z-800 that is reliable and easy to use.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics can be used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Some bacterial infections are chronic and can persist for months or years. Examples of chronic bacterial infections include tuberculosis and chronic osteomyelitis (bone infection). Other infections like urinary tract infections and sinusitis can also become chronic.

Fortunately, there are antibiotic infusion treatments available when a patient has a severe or chronic infection that cannot be treated with oral antibiotics alone. Antibiotic infusions may be given continuously over several days or weeks and are often administered in a clinic or a home setting. Because of their longer treatment duration, ambulatory pumps are sometimes used to preserve the patient’s quality of life.
