Infusor is a pump controlled by an elastomeric balloon. It has been used for continuous infusion of morphine, heparin, antiemetics and different kinds of cytostatics. The article presents our experience of Infusor when used for intravenous infusion of fluorouracil to patients with head and neck cancer. Infusor had many practical advantages. It provides a new possibility for continuous administration of cytostatics at home. A disadvantage was a slightly unstable infusion velocity.
