  • Syringe with snap-in enteral connection feature
    Patent number: 11554258
    Abstract: A syringe having barrel defining an outer circumferential surface, and a distal end including a non-luer tip that is not connectable to an intravenous device. The syringe barrel defines a snap-in, syringe engagement feature, adjacent to its distal end, oriented on its outer circumferential surface, which is selectively insertable within a bore of a complementary enteral collar. A proximal end of the enteral collar has a snap-in, enteral collar engagement feature, in the bore of the collar. In some embodiments, the snap-in, enteral collar engagement feature includes one or more cantilever snap joints, which engage a recess in the syringe engagement feature, upon axial insertion of the syringe tip into the bore of the collar. In some embodiments, the enteral collar engagement feature includes a discontinuous-annular snap joint. The enteral collar is sized to permit connection to an enteral device and prevent connection to a device having a luer connector.
