Abstract: A connector device for gastric calibration hoses, including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A first connector is disposed at the first end and a second connector is disposed at the second end. The first and the second connector are connected with each other via a fluid channel. The first connector includes a first tapering cavity sized and shaped to receive and couple with a gastric calibration hose. The second connector includes a second tapering cavity and a tapering recess annularly surrounding the second tapering cavity. The second tapering cavity and the tapering recess are sized and shaped to alternatively couple with different medical devices by receiving therein tubular structures of the different medical devices.

Abstract: In a gastric calibration hose with an elongated flexible hollow body having an outer wall and a first and a second hose end, it is provided that the elongated flexible hollow body has at least two channels, each of which extend in the longitudinal direction of the hollow body, the first channel having at least one opening in the area of the second hose end, and the second channel being closed at the second hose end, at least one illuminant being arranged in the second channel in the area of the second hose end.

Abstract: In a connector device for gastric calibration hoses includes a first and an opposite second end, wherein a first connector is formed at the first end and a second connector is formed at the second end, wherein the first and the second connector are connected with each other via a fluid channel, and wherein the first connector includes at least one first tapering cavity into which gastric calibration hose may be plugged for coupling, it is provided that for coupling different medical devices, the second connector has at least one second tapering cavity and at least one, tapering recess annularly surrounding the second cavity, so that, for coupling, the different medical devices may selectively be plugged into the second tapering cavity or into the tapering recess.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical restriction device for hollow organs of a body, having a longitudinal flexible element having a first and a second end, a closure device locking the longitudinal element annularly in a predetermined diameter position, and a tip as an insertion aid at the first end of the longitudinal element for placing the restriction device on the hollow organ, wherein the tip comprises a reinforcing core made of rigid material, wherein an opening is provided at the second end of the longitudinal element as part of the closure device, the tip can be inserted with the first end of the longitudinal element into the opening at the second end of the longitudinal element for locking the closure device, and the tip is fixedly connected to the first end; and can be cut off after locking the longitudinal element by the closure device.

Abstract: In an instrument for laparoscopic surgery, with an operating handle, a rectilinear first shaft section connected to the operating handle, a flexible second shaft section arranged at the distal end of the first shaft section and having an end part located at the distal tip of the second shaft section, wherein the second shaft section can be moved from a rectilinear extension position to a curved position in a predetermined plane of curvature with the aid of a tensioning means engaging on the end part, provision is made for a flexible connecting means to extend between the first shaft section and the end part, and the flexible connecting means has a restoring function with which the flexible second shaft section can be restored automatically to a rectilinear or predetermined extension position.
