The tubeless pump market is heating up and Beta Bionics just gave us a peek at what we can expect from its upcoming patch pump, Mint. Beta Bionics currently produces the iLet pump—famous for replacing carb counts with meal size and a setup that only requires the user’s weight. Mint takes that same algorithm and brings it into the tubeless form. While it isn’t expected until late 2027, Beta Bionics has already revealed a lot about how the device will work.

Mint has two parts: First, there’s a reusable L-shaped module that lasts two years and runs the algorithm. Then, there’s a disposable pod that powers the device and holds the insulin and infusion set. The disposable sits on an adhesive patch. The pod carries up to 200 units of insulin, lasts 3 days with a additional 12-hour grace period, and automatically syncs with Dexcom G7 and Abbott Libre 3 Plus.

Beta Bionics is moving fast elsewhere, too, with a second generation iLet sporting a color screen, lots of CGM integrations, and the Bionic Circle follower app for family and caregivers to monitor user’s systems. Mint looks like it will continue that trend, giving users a simple, connected experience from day one.
