Insticksställe

Insticksställe is a Swedish noun meaning a location into which something is inserted. The word is formed from the elements in- (into), sticka (to insert or poke), and ställe (place). It is a general term used across different domains to describe an insertion point or entry point.

In medical contexts, insticksställe can refer to an injection site or puncture site where a needle, cannula, or other instrument is inserted. In engineering, electronics, and equipment handling, it describes a socket, port, slot, or receptacle designed to accept a component, connector, probe, or cartridge. In manufacturing and assembly, the term may denote the designated location where parts are inserted during production or testing.

Because insticksställe is a broad term, more specific terminology is often used in practice within particular fields. For example, medical contexts may emphasize injection sites, while technical contexts may specify sockets, connectors, or slots. The usage of insticksställe tends to be regional or field-dependent, and the term may appear primarily in manuals, forms, or informal descriptions rather than in formal dictionaries. It serves as a neutral, descriptive label for any place intended for insertion in a process or device.
