Abstract
The present invention relates to a connection piece for an enteral transfer system and to an enteral transfer system with such a connection piece, and also to an arrangement composed of such a transfer system and of an enteral feed probe. The connection piece according to the present invention comprises a distal attachment piece for attachment of a connection piece of a probe tube of an enteral feed probe, and a proximal attachment piece for attachment of the connection tube of a transfer system. The distal attachment piece of the connection piece is conical or is designed in stepped fashion with several portions of different diameter. The distal attachment piece can therefore be releasably connected to the funnel-shaped connection pieces of different diameter of the probe tubes of the known feed probes. The connection piece according to the present invention can be used universally in this respect. The distal attachment piece of the connection piece according to the present invention has a locking element which is designed in such a way that a releasable form-fit connection can be made to a connection piece of a probe tube of an enteral feed probe that has a locking element comple…
