An ENFit syringe is a type of enteral syringe with a specially designed connector that reduces the risk of misconnections with other systems (such as IV or Luer devices).
What is an enteral syringe?
▼
An enteral syringe is used to deliver liquid nutrition, medication, or fluids directly into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, usually via a feeding tube. These syringes are designed specifically for enteral (non-intravenous) use.
What is an enteral syringe used for?
▼
Enteral syringes are used for feeding, flushing, and medication administration through feeding tubes such as NG, PEG, or gastrostomy tubes. They help ensure that substances go into the stomach or intestines, not into the bloodstream.
Is ENFit the same as Luer Lock?
▼
No, ENFit is not the same as Luer Lock. ENFit connectors are uniquely designed to prevent cross-connection with intravenous (Luer) systems. ENFit syringes cannot be connected to Luer devices, helping to improve patient safety.
Are enteral syringes single-use?

Most enteral syringes are single-use, especially in clinical settings to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of contamination.
