Key Features
Address Dosing Inaccuracy: Standard ENFit connectors can sometimes trap a small amount of fluid in the moat of the connector. The Low-Dose Tip design features an internal "male" protrusion that fills that space, ensuring the full volume of medication is delivered to the patient.
Safety and Compliance: The ENFit connector is a "reverse luer" design, meaning it cannot connect to standard IV ports or other medical systems. This prevents the catastrophic error of delivering enteral formula or oral medication into a patient's bloodstream.
Visual Identification: The purple plunger is the international healthcare standard for identifying enteral-only equipment, helping busy clinicians distinguish it from standard clear or colored syringes used for injections.
Piston Design: Includes a silicone O-ring gasket and a flat-top plunger for smooth, controlled operation during administration.
Clinical Application
The 3 mL size is versatile for:
Pediatric Medication: Delivering oral or enteral doses that exceed 1 mL but require the safety of a small-volume precision tip.
Flushing: Ideal for small-volume water flushes in fine-bore neonatal feeding tubes.
NICU/PICU Use: Validated for use in major syringe pump brands (such as Medfusion and BBraun) for continuous delivery of precise volumes.
