Straight vs. Bifurcated Extension Sets: How to Choose The NUBRE™ ENFit® enteral feeding extension set
ENFit® Connection brings several benefits, with patient safety being the most important. Its threaded design helps prevent accidental disconnections, reducing the risk of feeding errors, and making the process cleaner and easier. This increases the confidence that patients are receiving their prescribed nutrition properly. With the use of an ENFit® connection there’s no longer a need for long-term use of adapters that link non-standardized systems together. This eliminates the complexity and potential risks of relying on extra pieces to make different connectors compatible, streamlining the process and enhancing both patient safety and user experience.
Unique Connector Design – ENFit® has a distinct male-female configuration that is incompatible with Luer lock and other connectors, reducing the risk of tubing misconnections.
ISO 80369-3 Standard Compliance, which promotes consistent and safe enteral feeding connections worldwide. A key feature of ENFit® is its reverse gender orientation—with a female-ended connector on the administration set and a male-ended connector on the feeding tube. This design helps significantly reduce the risk of misconnections by making it incompatible with connectors from other clinical applications, thereby enhancing patient safety.
Twist-Lock Mechanism – The secure, locking connection prevents accidental disconnections, ensuring a continuous and safe feeding process.
Minimized Dead Space – ENFit® connectors are designed to reduce medication and nutrition loss, enhancing delivery accuracy.
Cross-Industry Adoption – Widely implemented across healthcare systems globally, ensuring standardization in enteral feeding.
Transition Adaptors Available – To support the transition from legacy feeding systems, adaptors are available for compatibility with existing setups
