Subcutaneous Infusion Therapy

Subcutaneous infusion, also known as "Hypodermoclysis", is increasingly and widely used for the following therapies:

• Rehydration
• Palliative care
• Pediatric care
• Pain management

With an aging population and global economic burdens, hypodermoclysis can offer a cost-efficient, effective alternative to intravenous therapy. When IV access is not required, possible or practical, hypodermoclysis is an effective alternative. Early intervention in cases of dehydration can prevent serious complications.

Appropriate sites for subcutaneous infusion include:
