Description
An enteral feeding syringe with a female ENFit twist‑lock connector for enteral‑only use. It mates only with compatible ENFit feeding tubes and accessories, helping reduce the risk of misconnections with IV/luer devices. Suitable for bolus tube feeding, water flushes, medication delivery, and aspirating a feeding tube. The clear, graduated barrel aids visibility and measurement. Available in common capacities and in single‑use (disposable) or reusable versions to support different care routines.
