Thanks for your help in producing this valuable resource for patients. The instructions and images below are a rough guide to what we are looking for. Any clean piece of material (any pattern or colour) would do.
Contact us if you need any further instructions and to let us know how we can collect completed pouches from you.
We’re sorting out arrangements for pouches to be handed in at hospital sites and will publish that here shortly.
Syringe pump pouches should be approximately:
Length 28cm (11”) x Width 18cm (5”) x Depth 8cm (3”)
The pouch needs to have an opening at one end to insert the pump and ideally room to add a small square of velcro or other fastener to close it over when in use. The handle should be long enough to go over an adult’s shoulder or across their body. The one in the picture is about 40cm long so about 80cm of material should be used in the loop.
The syringe pump which will be stored in the pouches is approximately: 26cm (10”) x 20cm (4”) x 5cm (2”)
