Enjoy freedom and comfort from an ultra small package

The advantage of the MiniLinkTM REAL-Time Transmitter is in the size. About the diameter of a quarter and as thin as a stack of four quarters high, the transmitter wirelessly transmits your glucose values to the MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time System every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day.

And, because the MiniLinkTM REAL-Time Transmitter connects directly to the glucose sensor, the transmitter takes up very little skin space, making it more comfortable and easy to wear. Its lightweight, comfortable, and ergonomic design delivers more freedom of movement with a much lower chance of skin irritation.

The small size of the MiniLinkTM REAL-Time Transmitter allows you to:

  • Enjoy the freedom of its small size - only 1.4" x 1.1" x 0.35"
  • Feel the difference of lightweight construction - only 4.6 grams
  • Experience the comfort of ergonomic design - it won't tug, pull, or pinch with movement
  • Avoid skin irritation due to the small adhesive are - only 1.5" x 0.8"

Discreet Enough to go Anywhere
The ultra-thin profile of the MiniLinkTM REAL-Time Transmitter lays flat to the skin, reducing the chance of a discernable bulge and freeing you to wear it discreetly under even the most revealing clothing.

The MiniLinkTM REAL-Time Transmitter is so discreet, it allows you to:

  • Hide any trace that you are even using a MiniLinkTM TransmitterTM only 0.35" high
  • Take advantage of wireless flexibility that allows you to place the transmitter in a variety of locations on the body

Designed to Fit an Active Lifestyle
Waterproof construction means the MiniLinkTM REAL-Time Transmitter can stay with you all the time - in the pool, bath, or shower. And, the long life of the quick charging battery can last for up to 14 days on one charge, freeing you to live your active lifestyle, anytime, anywhere - even when travelling.
