Enteral medication straw (ENFit)
Description
100 mm ENFit medication/medicine straw supplied as a pack of 100.

Available sterile or non-sterile depending on manufacturer; commonly used in hospitals, clinics and homecare to improve dose accuracy and reduce waste when drawing medicines into ENFit enteral syringes.
