The tethered system is suitable for studies
that require large dosing volumes for extended periods of time or when
repeated interaction with the pump is necessary. With large dosing
volumes, syringe pumps may not be optimal since the largest standard
syringe accommodates 60ml. Volumetric pumps can handle a
wide range of flow rates and can accommodate reservoirs of 2 liters or
larger. Reservoirs and delivery tubing sets are more expensive but the
versatility and convenience are well worth it. The tethered system
requires an indwelling catheter, either a tunneled exteriorized
catheter or an access port (Figure 1 and 2), pocketed jacket, metal
tether, swivel, extension lines and an infusion pump.
