Key Features
ENFit Safety Standard: The threaded connector prevents dangerous misconnections with IV lines, tracheostomy tubes, or other non-enteral medical devices.
Purple Identification: The signature purple plunger serves as a visual alert to healthcare providers and caregivers that this device is for the digestive tract only.
Large Capacity: The 60 mL volume is ideal for delivering full-sized meals (bolus feeding) efficiently without needing to refill the syringe multiple times.
Smooth Glide Piston: Despite the larger surface area, the plunger is designed to move smoothly, reducing the hand force required to push thick formula or medications.
Clinical Application
The 60 mL syringe is primarily used for:
Bolus Feeding: Delivering a full meal’s worth of formula manually into a G-tube or J-tube.
Gravity Feeding: The plunger can be removed, and the barrel used as a funnel for gravity-assisted feeding.
Irrigation and Flushing: Providing high-volume water flushes (typically 30–60 mL) to clear the tube after meals or medication.
Gastric Aspiration: Checking for gastric residuals or venting air from the stomach (decompressing).
