A 3-way stopcock is a small device that is used in hospitals to control the flow of IV fluids or medicines. The stopcock allows various IV lines to be connected so that it becomes easy for healthcare workers to turn the flow on and off or change the flow of the fluids without having to use new needles. This device is mostly used in operating rooms or hospitals.
