CONNECTION PIECE FOR THE TUBE OF AN ENTERAL FEEDING TUBE AND ASSEMBLY OF AN ENTERAL FEEDING TUBE AND AN ENTERAL TRANSFER SYSTEM

摘要

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.
