Abstract

An infusion set adapted to be secured to a skin surface includes a fixed base member connectable to the skin surface and a movable member. A needle or cannula is connected to the movable member and movable relative to the fixed base member. The movable member is movable from a first position in which the needle or cannula is not exposed externally of the fixed base member to a second position in which the needle or cannula is exposed externally of the fixed base member. A release member retains the movable member in the first position. Removal of the release member allows movement of the movable slide member to the second position.
