Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention include a cannula coated or compounded with a material to extend the wear time for a patient by reducing inflammation and therefore increasing the time that the cannula may remain inserted, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the drug delivered using the cannula. The material may include a hydrophilic material, an anti-microbial material, an anti-inflammatory material, anti-thrombogenic material, or a combination of any of these materials.
