    Elastomeric pumps offer cancer patients autonomy during continuous chemotherapy infusion. These devices allow patients to maintain daily activities while receiving treatment, enhancing quality of life.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Medical Devices

    Context:

    • Continuous chemotherapy infusion is a common cancer treatment modality.
    • Various drug delivery pumps exist, including syringe, elastomeric, peristaltic, and implantable pumps.
    • Elastomeric pumps are increasingly utilized in hospital settings.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the types of pumps used for continuous chemotherapy administration.
    • To highlight the advantages of elastomeric pumps in patient care.

    Summary:

    • Continuous chemotherapy can be delivered via multiple pump types.
    • Elastomeric pumps are favored in our hospital for their ability to provide patient autonomy.
    • This allows cancer patients to continue daily activities during treatment.

    Impact:
