Abstract: A biocompatible and/or food-safe tube assembly (1) is used to connect at least three tube connectors (A, B, C). A first tube section (2) serves to connect two (A, B) of the at least three tube connectors (A, B, C). A sec-ond tube section (3) opens into the first tube section (2) via an orifice (4) in a casing wall (5) of the first tube section (2). An orifice sealing body (8) delimits the orifice (4) to the inner lumen of the first tube section (2) and to the inner lumen of the second tube section (3). The first tube sec-tion 2 and the second tube section 3 are molded onto the orifice sealing body 8. A core (10) is used for this purpose. The result is a biocompatible and/or food-safe tube assembly that avoids manufacturing problems.

Abstract: A probe device serves for insertion into a body of a patient. The probe device has a suction conduit between a distal suction feed port and a proximal suction attachment port for the attachment of a vacuum source. Moreover, the probe device has a feed conduit between a proximal feed attachment port, for the attachment of a feed source, and the distal suction feed port. This results in a probe device and a tube/connector assembly, which can be a component thereof, of which the versatility is improved in particular in the area of a medical application or an application in which biocompatibility is important.

Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of an impermeable connection between at least two fluid carrying silicone hose components, the silicone hose components and a silicone connector component are first prepared. Afterwards a fluid silicone mass is applied to at least one connecting area where the silicone hose components abut on the silicone connector components. The at least one connecting area is post cured to harden the silicone mass. In a fluid carrying assembly with at least two fluid carrying silicone hose components and at least one silicone connector component, a fluid carrying connection is manufactured between these components by means of this process. This design results in a connecting technique that is, on the one hand, secure and, on the other hand, enables automation of the manufacture of an impermeable connection and thus of the fluid carrying assembly.

Abstract: A mobile infusion pump is used for the constant delivery of a fluid medium. The infusion pump comprises a balloon body for receiving the medium as well as a filling unit and a delivery unit that are in a fluid connection with the balloon body for filling the medium into the balloon body and delivering the medium from the balloon body to a patient. A throttling unit defines a delivery flow rate of the medium. By means of a plurality of continuous longitudinal ribs arranged on a part of the balloon body configured as a tube body, the expansion behavior of the balloon body is improved.
