Three Way Stopper

A three-way stopper, also known as a three-way valve or three-way connector, is a medical device used to manage fluid flow in intravenous (IV) lines. This versatile device features three ports: one for connecting to the IV catheter, one for administering medications or fluids, and one for accessing the line for additional treatments or flushing.

Typically made from durable plastic, the three-way stopper allows for easy and secure connections, often featuring a Luer lock design to ensure compatibility with various IV equipment. Its design enables healthcare providers to administer multiple therapies simultaneously or switch between infusions without disconnecting the IV line, enhancing efficiency and patient comfort.

Three-way stoppers are commonly used in hospitals and clinical settings for procedures that require constant monitoring and medication delivery, making them essential tools in IV therapy management. Their reliable function helps maintain the integrity of the IV system while reducing the risk of contamination and complications.
