O'Neil Balloon Infusor


The O'Neil Balloon Infusor is a lightweight, portable constant infusion device that can deliver up to 100ml intravenously. The device is effective in delivering pain medication, antibiotic or oncology drugs. The O'Neil Balloon Infusor promotes mobility and independence as patients are able to return home earlier freeing up valuable hospital resources. Commonly, the device is worn around the patient's neck.

The O'Neil Balloon Infusor can deliver up to 100ml in volume and is calibrated for use at 32 degC (skin temperature). Filling of the device is easily carried out via an injection port. The system also incorporates a 0.2 micron air and bacteria filter. Flow rate control is fixed at manufacture and therefore there is no risk of programming errors as there is no provision for nursing staff or patients to adjust the flow rate. Accuracy of the device is within +/- 20% of nominal flow rate.

O'Neil Balloon Infusor Features:

  • 100 ml reservoir.
  • 15 min filling time (nominal)
  • Easy to refill via refill port.
  • Lightweight, portable and easy to carry.
  • Low cost, easy to setup and easy to use.
  • Disposable.

The device is easily refilled via the refill port
