Male connectors and female connectors which are used to produce liquid transmission connections, such as for enteral nutrition lines

摘要

The invention relates to connectors which are intended for use in the medical field. The entry diameter and the thread crest diameter of the inventive connectors are selected in relation to the corresponding diameters of standard connectors such that the assembly of a male connector (A, C) or a female connector (B, D) respectively with a standard female or male connector is prevented because the end piece of the male connector cannot penetrate the inlet duct of the female connector or because said penetration is stopped when the head of the female connector comes into contact with the flange ring of the male connector. The invention is suitable, for example, for enteral nutrition lines.
