What is Omnipod?
Omnipod® gives you more with less
Omnipod provides continuous insulin delivery through a tubeless, waterproof* insulin pump called a Pod—all with no multiple daily injections. Get up to 3 days (72 hours) of continuous insulin delivery and freedom with these innovative features:
- Wearable: Place the Pod almost anywhere you’d normally inject
- Waterproof*: Take your insulin anywhere life takes you, even while swimming
- Tangle-proof: Forget the tubes of traditional insulin pumps
How Omnipod Works
Omnipod tubeless systems are made of two main components, the Pod and a smartphone-like PDM/Controller. The Pod is a small device that you fill with insulin and wear directly on your body. The Pod receives insulin delivery instructions from the Controller. It then delivers insulin into your body through a small, flexible tube called a cannula.

Omnipod® 5
With Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System, your diabetes devices are in sync without tubes to tie you down. It’s everything you love about Omnipod—waterproof†, wearable, tubeless—and so much more:
- SmartAdjust™ technology automatically increases, decreases, or pauses insulin every 5 minutes, based on your customized target—helping to protect against highs and lows2-4
- Activity feature when enabled, reduces insulin delivery when glucose typically goes low, like when exercising
- SmartBolus Calculator, the only AID system with a built-in bolus calculator that automatically incorporates your CGM value and trend, so you don’t have to
- Compatible with Dexcom G6, Dexcom G7 and the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus Sensor.
You will still need to bolus for meals. With Omnipod 5, this is done with the Omnipod 5 App or Controller.
†The Pod has an IP28 rating for up to 25 feet for 60 minutes. The Omnipod 5 Controller is not waterproof. The Dexcom G6, when properly installed and G7 CGMs have an IP28 rating for up to 8 feet for 24 hours. The FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus Sensor is water-resistant in up to 1 meter (3 feet) of water. Do not immerse longer than 30 minutes.
Omnipod DASH®
A tubeless, wireless insulin management system that lets you experience more freedom with fewer daily hassles. Wear the Pod for up to 3 days (72 hours) of continuous insulin delivery, without multiple daily injections. And the convenience doesn’t stop there, get it all through the pharmacy. Even the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) comes at no charge to you‡.
Omnipod DASH is cleared for anyone with insulin requiring diabetes.
