{"title":"Lopez Valve","description":"\u003ch1\u003eLopez Valve for Enteral Tube Management\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lopez Valve is a three-way stopcock designed for enteral feeding and gastric decompression, giving clinicians precise control over irrigation, drainage, and feeding without repeatedly disconnecting the tubing. By combining a single valve with a closed system, it reduces the handling that leads to leaks, spills, and contamination — a practical advantage for nurses managing patients on continuous or intermittent enteral therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur selection features the \u003cstrong\u003eICU Medical Lopez Valve Closed Enteral Tube (M9000-T)\u003c\/strong\u003e with a tethered straight cap. The tethered cap stays attached to the valve, so it won't get misplaced during a shift and remains within reach every time the port is opened and reclosed. The closed enteral design supports cleaner medication administration, flushing, and suction through a single access point, streamlining bedside workflow and helping maintain infection-control standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common question from buyers is whether these valves fit their existing tubing connectors. Legacy Lopez Valves use standard connections, while newer facilities transitioning to enteral-specific safety standards may need the ENFit version.
