      Discofix® 3-way Stopcock with Connection Tubing
      Multidirectional stopcock with tubing for infusion therapy

      Discofix® 3-way stopcocks enable needle-free access to the patient and allow the adjustment of flow direction and stop of flow with the handle to control the administration of one or more infusion solutions or liquid drugs in parallel or after each other and / or for injection and aspiration of fluids.

      Depending on the position of the handle the ports of the stopcock are open or closed. The handle knobs of Discofix® 3-way stopcocks show the opened ports of the stopcocks. Discofix® 3-way stopcock handles are rotatable in a 360° revolving.

      Being connected to the patient access device (e.g. IVC) Discofix® allows the change of IV Set without having to disconnect from the cannula.

      Discofix®-3 with extension line (with different lengths)

      The extension line towards the male port separates the stopcock from the patient to reduce complications such as catheter movement and vascular irritations.
