Key Features
Precision Engineering: The Low-Dose Tip design ensures that the volume of medication delivered is accurate within +/- 10%. This is vital for pediatric and neonatal patients where the "moat" of a standard ENFit syringe could otherwise cause an overdose or underdose.
Global Safety Standard: As part of the ENFit system, this syringe is physically incompatible with IV lines (Luer locks). This "forced function" safety feature prevents accidental injections of enteral contents into the bloodstream.
Visual Safety Cues: The purple plunger is the industry-standard color for enteral-only devices, serving as a constant visual reminder to clinicians that the syringe is not for intravenous use.
Smooth Operation: Features a silicone-lubricated barrel and a flat-top plunger, providing the tactile control necessary for slow, steady manual administration.
Clinical Application
The 5 mL size is frequently used for:
Pediatric Medication: Administering liquid vitamins, antibiotics, or reflux medications.
Tube Maintenance: Performing water flushes for small-bore feeding tubes to maintain patency.
Syringe Pump Use: Validated for use in clinical syringe pumps (like Medfusion and BBraun) for the slow, continuous delivery of medications or nutrition.
