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 application relates to a device for feeding medical fluids, in particular for applying a pharmaceutical into the hose line of a transfer unit for enteral or parenteral nutrition. The device comprises a base body (1) having an inlet (1A) and an outlet (1B) and a rotatable closure body (2) which has an inlet (2A). The device is characterized in that the base body (1) comprises a hollow cylindrical attachment piece (4) ending in the passage (1E) of the base body between the inlet and outlet (1B, 1B), and the closure body comprises a cylindrical shut-off body (11) that is arranged in the closure body (2) such that the shut-off body (11) sits in the attachment piece (4) of the base body (1) in a sealing manner in a first position of the closure body (2), so that a fluid connection between the inlet (2A) of the closure body (2) and the passage (1E) of the base body (1) is interrupted, and does not sit in the attachment piece in a second position of the closure body, so that the fluid connection is established.

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.

Abstract: The device according to the invention for providing a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) comprises a handle for handling the device. The wire that is to be inserted into the stomach of the patient is rolled on a wire spool that is mounted either in a rotatable manner on the handle part or on an attachment piece that can be attached to the handle. Aside from the puncturing cannula for puncturing the stomach, the device according to the invention comprises an insertion cannula for insertion the wire rolled on the wire spool into the stomach. The device according to the invention is characterized in that the puncturing cannula is designed as an outer cannula surrounding the insertion cannula, while the insertion cannula is designed as an inner cannula surrounded by the puncturing cannula, wherein the insertion cannula is guided into the puncturing cannula in a longitudinally displaceable manner. During the puncture of the stomach, the insertion cannula is recessed into the puncturing cannula.

Abstract: A pierceable closure, such as a cap for a bottle for infusion solutions, has a peelable and sealable foil as a sterile cover of the pierceable location, which is configured as a metal or aluminum foil and which is connected or sealed to the closure in a peelable at a distance around the pierceable location. The cover has at least one aperture or one opening with the fastening region to which the same is applied, wherein the aperture or opening is closed in a sterile manner by means of a foil or membrane that is permeable to water vapor such that the closure can be sterilized by means of autoclaving even beneath the cover.

Abstract: A needle shield is removably mountable to a syringe to protect a user from inadvertent needle pricks and limit contamination of a needle of the syringe. The needle shield includes a plug having an external surface and a shell having an inner surface defining a cavity therein. The plug is positioned within the cavity and a portion of the external surface of the plug is in contact with the inner surface of the shell at a contact area. The plug is non-removably bonded to the shell in the contact area by melting a portion of the shell and the plug in the contact area through application of radiation energy. A securing ring may alternatively be fixed to the shell through the application of radiation energy to secure a shoulder of the plug between the ring and a rib of the shell. The radiation energy is preferably applied by laser welding.
