Abstract:
A teat including at least a shaft and a nipple, wherein structured surface areas are provided at least in a partial region thereof, and the structured surface areas are formed by at least one rough surface zone having a surface roughness of 100 μm at the most, or 50 μm at the most.

Claim (Index 16):
A teat comprising:\n a nipple having a circumferentially extending concave outer surface; a lip abutment region below the nipple; a shaft below the lip abutment region; the lip abutment region extending continuously into the shaft; at least one rough surface zone having a roughness depth of 10 \u03bcm to 50 \u03bcm; at least one smooth surface zone having a stickiness; the at least one rough surface zone having a greater roughness depth than a roughness depth of the at least one smooth surface zone; the at least one rough surface zone having a soft, skin-like appearance and feel and a lesser stickiness than the stickiness of the at least one smooth surface zone; the teat being transparent or translucent in the at least one smooth surface zone; and the at least one rough surface zone extending above the lip abutment region and continuously within a length of the nipple within and above the concave outer surface of the nipple to configure the at least one rough surface zone to be positioned to be contacted by a baby's tongue during a feeding or sucking position of the nipple received in a baby's mouth.
