A flexible, fluid flow tubing is configured to be kink resistant, and a medical device is configured with such kink resistant tubing. The tubing has a length L, an inside radius r and an outside radius R, wherein L/R ≥ 34.8, and wherein R/r ≥ 1.5. A distal portion of the tubing is received in a channel of a hollow needle. The hollow needle is slideable axially relative to the tubing, to selectively slide off of the distal portion of the tubing. An insertion set system includes a base on which the tubing is secured, and an inserter having the needle and moveably received by the base. The base includes a fluid passage transverse to the axial dimension of the distal end portion of the tubing. |
