Lopez Enteral Feeding Valves

The ICU Medical Lopez Valve is a three-way enteral valve designed to simplify feeding, medication delivery, and irrigation through a single access point. Clinicians and caregivers turn to it because it lets you switch between feeding, flushing, and aspiration without repeatedly disconnecting the enteral tube — reducing handling, limiting contamination risk, and protecting the patient's access site. Every Lopez valve in this collection is not made with natural rubber latex, an important consideration for latex-sensitive patients and facilities working toward latex-free standards.

This collection carries the ICU Medical Lopez Enteral Feeding Valve (M9000) in non-sterile configuration, well suited to home enteral nutrition and settings where a sterile field isn't required. For clinical environments that call for aseptic handling, the Lopez Valve Closed Enteral Tube Valve with Tethered Cap (M9000T) is supplied sterile — the tethered cap stays attached to keep the port covered between uses and lower the chance of a lost or contaminated cap. Both share the familiar three-port design that has made the Lopez valve a standard in enteral care.

A common question from buyers is whether these connect to newer enteral tubing standards. Legacy Lopez valves use conventional connectors, while ENFit-compatible versions use the ISO 80369-3 low-risk connection now widely adopted to prevent tubing misconnections. If your protocol or tubing has moved to ENFit, review the ENFit Lopez Valve options to confirm the correct fit before ordering.
