Animas wants to pump you up... with insulin. The company's computerized insulin pumps are pager-sized devices that diabetes patients "wear" and which continuously deliver rapid-acting insulin into the body. The infusion pumps, which are connected to a tube with a needle at the end that's inserted under the skin, replace the use of periodic insulin injections. Animas also sells diabetes management software, monitors, and various pump accessories. It markets its products worldwide through a combination of direct sales representatives and distributors. The company is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, reporting to J&J's LifeScan division.
