An in-line connector for use in an enteral feeding system in-cludes a first component connectable to a first feeding device of the feeding system, and a second component connectable to a second feeding device of the feeding system. A releasable coupling is configured between the first and second components, wherein in a connected state the first and second com- ponents define a fluid passage between the different feeding devices. Each of the first and second components includes a one-way automatic shutoff valve configured therein such that in a disconnected state of the components, the shutoff valve in the first component prevents flow out of the first component in a first direction and the shutoff valve in the second component prevents flow out of the second component in a second direction that is opposite from the first direction.

La présente invention concerne un connecteur en ligne destiné à servir dans un système d'alimentation entérale. Ledit connecteur inclut un premier composant pouvant être raccordé à un premier dispositif d'alimentation du système d'alimentation, et un second composant pouvant être raccordé à un second dispositif d'alimentation dudit système d'alimentation. Un raccordement amovible est configuré entre le premier composant et le second composant, de telle sorte que, dans un état de connexion, ledit premier composant et ledit second composant définissent un passage pour liquide entre les différents dispositifs d'alimentation. Le premier composant et le second composant incluent chacun une soupape d'arrêt automatique unidirectionnelle configurée de la manière suivante : lorsque les composants sont dans un état de déconnexion, la soupape d'arrêt du premier composant empêche le flux de sortir du premier composant dans une première direction, et la soupape d'arrêt du second composant empêche le flux de sortir du second composant dans une seconde direction qui est opposée à la première direction.
