SC device name???

I did an ISI on a pt today but after telling my friend about the device, I couldn't remember the actual textbook name for the life of me.

Here in Ontario, they're used frequently in palliative or in elderly in general. It's a white and yellow subcutaneous butterfly catheter device that you insert into the pts SC tissue, take the needle out and the catheter remains in the skin. It has a port to give sc injections without poking the pt every 2 hours.

We call them ISI's but does anyone know the textbook term?!

Thanks!!
