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 () for resting the port needle on the patient, a feed (), and a needle () having a tip (), it being possible to bring the needle () into at least two positions, a puncture position and a retracted position, characterized by a safety section (), which shields the tip () of the needle () at least in the retracted position and thus forms a needle-prick protection device.

A multipurpose connector made in two pieces and having three distal connectors and two proximal connectors arranged concentrically in one another and coaxially to one another and made differently and having a venting passage. The multipurpose connector is used in gravity-assisted and pump-assisted enteral feeding and serves for the connection of transfer systems to storage containers, in particular to nutrient and balancing liquid containers having differently designed openings. Also provided is a set for enteral application including a transfer system and the multipurpose connector and the use of the multipurpose connector or of the set.

The invention relates to a catheter port for supplying an active substance to an active site which is distant from the port. According to the invention, the housing () of the port is designed to have two parts, an upper housing part () and a lower housing part (). The upper housing part () holds an insertion part () in a clamping manner in a housing recess () of the lower housing part (), wherein a chamber () is arranged in said insertion part for receiving the active substance with the interpositioning of a punctured membrane () that can be pierced with an injection cannula. While the insertion part () and the chamber () can be manufactured from a material resistant to the active substance, preferably a heavier ceramics, the upper and lower housing parts may consist of a lighter biocompatible plastic material. It is advantageous that the patient only comes into contact with the upper and lower housing parts made of a biocompatible plastic material and not with the insertion part.
