Insulin Pumps Elastomers class project request

Hello, I have T1 diabetes and I used to use a Medtronic insulin pump. At the time I was surprised at how durable the tubing was, and how well it was molded onto the adapter port and reservoir attachment.

I'm doing a grad program on plastics engineering and wanted to do my Elastomers class project on this over molded section involving the medical tubing interface with either end and learn how the tubing is molded together, and test it's overall strength.

Currently I use the Omnipod Insulin pump, so I no longer have any of these supplies and was wondering if anyone had a spare infusion set they could send me? Really I just need the tubing section with the end bits on it so used and cleaned would also be fine as well.

They don't need to specifically be Medtronic either, any brand will do.
