Closed system administration is the accepted clinical standard for the delivery of enteral feeds. Yet, the typical gravity feeding process is to use a standard syringe barrel and remove the plunger to facilitate flow. This method exposes the nutrition to open air, breaching the closed system standard.
NEOMED GRAVITYPRO Syringes offer an easy-to-use clinical solution for gravity feeds. NEOMED* GRAVITYPRO Syringes feature an integrated hanger designed to eliminate the need to hand-hold while gravity-feeding and a vent zone designed to minimise exposure to air by allowing venting to occur while the plunger is in place. Alternatively, they will work with an enteral syringe pump for continuous feeds.
Gravity Feed Features:
ENFit connector to enhance patient safety
Facilitates a nearly closed system and enhances aseptic technique by allowing the plunger to remain in the barrel during gravity feeds.
Incorporates a vent zone that allows the plunger to stay in place. Minimise air contact of fluids.
Designed with an integrated hanger for user convenience.
Flat polypropylene plunger and silicone O-ring gasket for maximum nutrition delivery.
Promotes Aseptic Technique
Ideal for gravity and pump feeds.
Clear barrel with orange or purple markings
This product is free from latex, DEHP, and BPA.
