Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a 3-way stopcock on a 100 cm extension line?

A: piece of medical equipment used in healthcare settings, particularly in intravenous (IV) therapy, is a 100 cm extension line with a 3-way stopcock. It consists of a flexible tube with a 3-way stopcock attached, usually approximately 100 cm in length. The stopcock is a valve that has three holes for controlling the flow of fluid.

Q: What's the use of a 3-way stopcock on a 100 cm extension line?

A: A 100 cm extension line with a 3-way stopcock is used to create a longer channel for giving intravenous fluids or drugs. It is frequently used when direct access to a patient's vein may be challenging or uncomfortable. In order to enhance length and flexibility, the extension line can be connected to an already-existing IV line by healthcare professionals.

Q: How does a three-way stopcock function?

A: A three-way stopcock is a valve with three openings, usually identified by the letters "A," "B," and "C." It permits a variety of fluid linkages or channels. Internally, there are two perpendicular channels in the valve, and the flow can be switched between them by rotating the handle. The fluid channel from opening "A" to opening "B" is joined when the handle is in position "A." The connection between "A" and "B" is closed when the handle is in position "B," while it is opened when it is in position "B" for "B" and "C." The handle's final position, "C," shuts the connection between "B" and "C" while opening the connection between "A" and "C." This makes it possible to divert or isolate fluid flow under controlled conditions.

The 3-way stopcock offers versatility in fluid flow control. It can be used, for instance, to add more drugs, flush the line, or carry out other essential treatments while keeping the flow going.
