Abstract
An enteral and oral syringe including a syringe barrel and an enteral dosing control coupling and wherein the syringe barrel or other portions thereof define a side-to-side dimension of at least about 13.3 millimeters. In one example form, the coupling is angled with respect to the extension of the syringe body to define a side-to-side dimension of at least about 13.3 millimeters. In another example form, the syringe body includes a desirable cross-sectional shape wherein at least two generally opposite outer periphery portions thereof define a dimension therebetween of at least about 13.3 millimeters.
Claims22
An enteral syringe comprising a hollow cylindrical barrel extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a base flange at a distal end of the barrel, and an enteral dosing control coupling at a proximal end of the barrel, the enteral dosing control coupling being angled relative to the extension of the hollow cylindrical barrel such that a side-to-side dimension of at least about 13.3 millimeters is defined between an outer surface of the barrel and an outermost end of the dosing control coupling.
An enteral syringe comprising an elongate barrel comprising a proximal end and a distal end, and a hollow cavity defined therein, the proximal end comprising an enteral dosing control coupling and the distal end comprising a base flange, the elongate barrel comprising a cross-sectional shape defining a side-to-side dimension of at least about 13.3 millimeters.
An enteral syringe comprising an elongate cylindrical barrel extending between a proximal end and a distal end and defining a hollow cavity therein, the proximal end comprising an enteral dosing control coupling and the distal end comprising a base flange, and further comprising one or more features extending outwardly from the elongate cylindrical barrel such that a side-to-side dimension between the one or more outwardly extending features is at least about 13.3 millimeters.
