Abstract: The present invention relates to a port needle comprising a bearing for resting and fixing the port needle on the patient, a feed, and a needle. This problem is solved according to the invention by a port needle comprising a bearing (1) for resting the port needle on the patient, a feed (6), and a needle (3) having a tip (21), it being possible to bring the needle (3) into at least two positions, a puncture position and a retracted position, characterized by a safety section (7), which shields the tip (21) of the needle (3) at least in the retracted position and thus forms a needle-prick protection device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection piece (4) for the tube (3) of an enteral feeding tube (1), having a proximal fitting piece (4A) for fitting the tube of an enteral feeding tube, and a distal fitting piece (4B) for fitting a connection piece (8) of an enteral transfer system (2). The connection piece (4) according to the invention of the feeding tube (1) comprises two rigidly connected sections (9), (10), of which the first section (9) is made of a material which has a higher hardness than the material which the second section (10) of the connection piece is made of. The two-piece structure of the connection piece made of the two materials of different hardness has the advantage that the material properties of the two sections (9), (10) can be adapted to the different requirements for the respective connections.
