V-Go
The V-Go is a tubeless insulin delivery system indicated for adult patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who require insulin. The V-GO delivers u-100 insulin via a stainless-steel needle automatically at a pre-set basal rate and on demand for boluses via a mechanical button. Each disposable device is worn like a patch for 24 hours, after which time users attach a new V-Go. The device is available in three different models:
- V-Go 20: 56 units total (20 units basal over 24 hours; up to 36 units bolus in 2-unit increments)
- V-Go 30: 66 units total (30 units basal over 24 hours; up to 36 units bolus in 2-unit increments)
- V-Go 40: 76 units total (40 units basal over 24 hours; up to 36 units bolus in 2-unit increments)
