- Two syringes (6 mL Luer slip and 35 mL ENFit)
- Gauze pad for site maintenance
Are the connectors compatible with modern safety standards?
Absolutely. This kit utilizes ENFit connectors, which feature a standardized “lock-and-key” mechanism. This design is specifically intended to prevent misconnections with IV lines and other non-enteral devices, ensuring higher patient safety.
