Feeding Tube Adapters and Connectors for ENFit Enteral Systems
Feeding tube adapters and connectors bridge feeding tubes to syringes, extension sets and administration sets, and provide the transition hardware facilities need during the move to ENFit. This category covers ENFit extension sets, straight and right-angle connectors, Y-ports, bolus adapters and legacy-to-ENFit transition adapters. Products follow the ISO 80369-3 ENFit standard and are stocked for hospitals, long-term care and home enteral nutrition programs.
Adapter and Connector Lines Stocked
- ENFit extension sets - Straight and right-angle ENFit extension sets for low-profile gastrostomy buttons, with and without a bolus (catheter-tip) port, stocked across the common lengths.
- ENFit transition connectors - Legacy-to-ENFit transition adapters that bridge existing legacy-connector feeding tubes to ENFit syringes and sets during changeover.
- Y-ports and bolus adapters - Y-connectors and bolus feeding adapters that add a medication or flush port to an enteral line.
- Declogging and straight adapters - Straight ENFit-to-ENFit connectors and adapter pieces used to join tubes, sets and syringes across the enteral line.
Connector Types
| Connector | Interface | Function |
|---|---|---|
| ENFit extension set (straight) | ENFit to button | Connect button to syringe or set |
| ENFit extension set (right-angle) | ENFit to button | Low-profile connection for skin-level buttons |
| Bolus extension set | ENFit with catheter-tip port | Bolus feeding and medication |
| Transition adapter | Legacy to ENFit | Bridge legacy tubes to ENFit sets |
| Y-port adapter | ENFit with secondary port | Add medication or flush access |
ENFit and ISO 80369-3
ENFit is the enteral connector design defined by ISO 80369-3, created so enteral connectors do not mate with intravenous, respiratory or neuraxial systems and reduce the risk of misconnection. Extension sets, Y-ports, bolus adapters and syringe interfaces in this category share the ENFit thread. Transition adapters bridge legacy-connector tubes to ENFit sets so facilities can run mixed inventory during changeover. Right-angle extension sets pair with low-profile gastrostomy buttons, and straight sets connect standard tubes to pumps and syringes.
Adapters and connectors are the highest-frequency enteral consumable, since extension sets are single-patient items replaced on routine intervals across every button and tube-fed patient. That continuous replacement pattern, combined with the ENFit transition, makes case pricing and standing orders central for materials management standardizing an enteral connector platform. MAP Medical stocks ENFit sets, adapters and transition connectors under one wholesale account. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ENFit and ISO 80369-3?
ENFit is the enteral small-bore connector design defined by the ISO 80369-3 standard. It gives feeding tubes, extension sets, administration sets and syringes a common threaded interface that does not mate with intravenous, respiratory or neuraxial connectors, reducing the risk of misconnection. Adapters and connectors in this category use the ENFit interface, and transition adapters bridge legacy formats.
What is the difference between straight and right-angle ENFit extension sets?
Straight ENFit extension sets connect standard feeding tubes and low-profile buttons to syringes and administration sets in an inline configuration. Right-angle extension sets connect at 90 degrees for a lower profile against the skin, which is common with skin-level gastrostomy buttons. Both are stocked, with and without a bolus catheter-tip port, across the common lengths.
What are legacy-to-ENFit transition adapters for?
Transition adapters bridge existing legacy-connector feeding tubes to ENFit syringes and administration sets so facilities can operate mixed inventory during the changeover to ENFit. They let a program standardize new purchases on ENFit while continuing to use in-place legacy tubes. Transition adapters are stocked alongside full ENFit extension sets and connectors.
Can facilities order ENFit adapters and connectors in bulk?
Yes. ENFit extension sets, connectors, Y-ports and transition adapters are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, home enteral nutrition providers and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-frequency ENFit extension sets. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What adapters and connectors should be in a facility formulary?
A working connector formulary typically includes straight and right-angle ENFit extension sets, bolus extension sets with a catheter-tip port, legacy-to-ENFit transition adapters for mixed inventory, Y-port adapters for medication access, and straight ENFit-to-ENFit connectors. MAP Medical builds consolidated connector formulary packages matched to enteral program size - contact our team for an assessment.
