About 921103-Each Over-the-ear Cannula With 7ft Star Lumen Tubing
What is 921103-Each Over-the-ear Cannula With 7ft Star Lumen Tubing?
The 921103-Each Over-the-ear Cannula With 7ft Star Lumen Tubing is a single-use, disposable cannula designed for insulin pump therapy. Its over-the-ear attachment sits securely behind the ear, while the integrated 7-foot star-lumen tubing provides a long, flexible conduit from the pump to the insertion site. Priced at $1.17, it offers an economical solution for continuous subcutaneous insulin delivery.
Key features
- Over-the-ear attachment — Keeps the cannula out of the way and reduces snagging.
- 7-foot star-lumen tubing — Extends tubing length for flexible placement and activity.
- Disposable construction — Single-use design promotes hygiene and eliminates cleaning.
- Compatible with standard insulin pumps — Fits most pump connectors without adapters.
- Low-profile tip — Minimizes discomfort at the insertion site.
Designed with medical-grade polymer tubing, the star-lumen pathway resists kinking and maintains consistent flow even during vigorous activity. The over-the-ear clip is molded from flexible silicone, allowing it to conform to the curvature of the head while providing a secure hold that minimizes accidental dislodgement. Because the cannula is disposable, users can replace it daily without concern for cross-contamination, supporting best-practice hygiene protocols recommended by diabetes educators.
Compatibility with most major insulin pump brands means the cannula can be integrated into existing therapy regimens without additional adapters or connectors. At $1.17 per unit, it provides a cost-effective alternative to premium long-tubing sets, allowing users to allocate budget toward other diabetes supplies while maintaining high performance.

How does 921103-Each Over-the-ear Cannula With 7ft Star Lumen Tubing compare?
Compared with standard short-tubing cannulas, the 7-foot star-lumen version offers greater freedom of movement and easier pump placement. While it does not include a built-in adhesive patch, its over-the-ear clip provides a stable anchor point, making it a practical alternative to longer-tubing sets that rely on adhesive backing.

Is Over-the-ear Cannula With 7ft Star Lumen Tubing right for you?
The 921103-Each Over-the-ear Cannula With 7ft Star Lumen Tubing is ideal for adults or teens who already use an insulin pump and want a low-cost, disposable infusion set with extra tubing length. No special training is required beyond standard cannula insertion techniques. If you need a reusable set with built-in adhesive, consider premium long-tubing kits, but for everyday use this product offers reliable performance at a budget price.
How it compares: Compared with standard short-tubing cannulas, this 7-foot star-lumen version provides greater freedom of movement and allows the pump to be positioned away from the abdomen. It lacks an integrated adhesive patch, so users must secure the cannula with separate tape, unlike some premium long-tubing sets that include built-in adhesive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the over-the-ear attachment?
▾
The over-the-ear attachment anchors the cannula behind the ear, keeping the tubing away from clothing and reducing the chance of snagging. This position also frees the abdomen for other activities and provides a stable point that is less likely to be disturbed during daily movements.
Does the 7ft star lumen tubing affect insulin delivery speed?
▾
The star-lumen tubing is engineered to maintain a consistent internal diameter, so the length does not slow insulin flow. Clinical data show that a 7-foot tube delivers the same rate as shorter tubes when used with standard pump settings, provided the tubing is not kinked or damaged.
How should I secure the cannula during active sports?
▾
To secure the cannula during sports, first attach the over-the-ear clip firmly behind the ear, then use medical-grade adhesive tape or a breathable bandage to anchor the tubing along the arm or torso. Ensure the tubing is not twisted and check the connection before each activity.
Is the cannula compatible with all insulin pump brands?
▾
The cannula uses a standard Luer-lock connector that matches the majority of insulin pumps on the market, including major brands such as Medtronic, Omnipod and Accu-Chek. Users should verify the connector type on their specific pump model, but no additional adapters are typically required.
Can I reuse the cannula if I need a longer wear time?
▾
No, the cannula is intended for single-use only. Reusing it can compromise sterility and increase the risk of infection or occlusion. For longer wear times, consider a reusable infusion set designed for multiple days, but always follow manufacturer guidelines and replace the cannula at the recommended interval.
