3 Way Stop Cock Manufacturing - Overview
A stopcock is a specialized valve used to regulate and control the flow of liquids or gases in medical tubing or catheters. When it comes to stop cock manufacturing, precision and quality are paramount. We’ll delve into the different types available and shed light on the significance of CDSCO manufacturing registration in ensuring product quality and safety. So, let’s start exploring!
What Is 3 Way Stop Cock?
A three-way stopcock is a special valve with three openings used in medical devices like IV lines. It can control the flow of fluids in three directions: off (closed), straight through (connecting two parts), and to the side (for adding medicines or extra fluids). This helps doctors and nurses give the right treatments and medications to patients easily.

Types of Medical Device Stop Cock
- 1-Way Stopcocks: These have a single fluid direction.
- 2-Way Stopcocks: These allow fluid to flow in two different directions.
- 3-Way Stopcocks: These allow the flow of fluids in three different directions. They often have three ports, typically labeled with L, M, and H, which stand for “left,” “middle,” and “right,” respectively.
- 4-Way Stopcocks: These allow fluid to flow in four different directions.
There are also manifolds available in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-gang configurations in addition to these. The connections include female luer lock, tubing ports, rotating male luer lock, rotating male luer lock, male luer lock with spin lock, and male luer slip.
Every type of stopcock is created to withstand pressure ratings ranging from 6 psi to 1200 psi. For a good view of the media flow, the stopcock’s body is typically composed of polycarbonate or Polysulfone.
It’s crucial to remember that the stopcock you choose will depend on the needs of the device or medical procedure you’re using it with.
