Abstract: An electrical switch for electrical coupling of an electrical conductor to a busbar may include a contact element and an adjusting device, with the adjusting device moving the contact element during closing and opening of the switch, with the adjusting device rotating or pivoting the contact element, at least when the contact element is being lifted off the busbar.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical switch for electrical coupling of an electrical conductor to a busbar, with the electrical switch having a contact element and an adjusting device, with the adjusting device moving the contact element during closing and opening of the switch, with the adjusting device rotating or pivoting the contact element, at least when the contact element is being lifted off the busbar.

Abstract: An adapter is connected to a probe tube of an already installed PEG probe, cut off above the abdominal wall of the patient. The adapter comprises a retaining member, supported by the abdominal wall, structure for fixing the proximal end of the PEG probe and structure for connecting a delivery tube. The retaining member is embodied as a separate piece, comprising an opening for the passage of the PEG probe, while the structures for fixing the PEG probe and for connection of the delivery tube form an insert piece, which may be inserted in the retaining member with a tight fit. The adapter is simple to manipulate and of a construction with a limited height.

Abstract: An adapter is connected to a probe tube of a PEG probe that is already in place, the probe tube being cut off above the abdominal wall of the patient. The adapter comprises an outer retaining element, which is supported on the abdominal wall, and comprises structure for fastening the proximal end of the PEG probe, and structure for connecting a delivery line to the flow channel. A shut-off element having a rotatable or displaceable closing body is provided for closing the PEG probe. The adapter is characterized by its universal use, simple handleability and small overall height.

Abstract: Device for introducing a catheter which is suitable in particular for catheterizing the vena basilica, jugularis or subclavia and substantially comprises a puncture cannula (2), a bush (4) having a tubular continuation (31), securing plates or wings (5) and a connecting piece (11) and possibly a metal needle extension (13) which is equipped with grip plate (12) and securing means, a detachable extension piece (6) being fitted on the bush (4) and comprising substantially a grip plate (7), a hollow portion (9) having a slit (21, 29) and possibly a support member (8), the slit extending over the entire length of the extension hollow portion (9) either at the bottom side or laterally thereof.

Abstract: A union or coupling for medical instruments or pipes, more specially for injection, transfusion or infusion has a male half with radial nosepieces for locking it in position and a female half with a guide structure and a keeper part, placed proximally of the guide structure, for fixedly locking the nosepieces on the male half proximally of the locking nosepieces of the female half with the nosepieces on the male half seated in radial pockets in said female half. Each nosepiece on the male half has stop ends running parallel to the axis of the male half and each pocket has opposite stop ends, parallel to the axis of the female part for acting against the stop ends on the spigot nosepieces and stopping turning of the male half in relation to the female half.
