Subcutaneous infusion therapy, also called hypodermoclysis, is widely used in therapies to support paediatric and geriatric patients, palliative care and post-operative pain relief. In certain clinical situations where IV access is not required, possible or practical, subcutaneous infusions can be a safe alternative.
