BD® Connecta™ Stopcocks
Stopcocks are used to control fluid flow in intravenous (IV) lines. Connecta™ stopcocks feature:
- A clear housing with two ISO female luer fittings (protected with plugs) and one ISO male luer lock fitting (with a protective cover). The housing has a rotating tap to control fluid flow through the device.¹
- A 360° “ON” directed tap for intuitive operation.¹
- Color-coded options for easy identification.¹
These stopcocks are available with Extension Tubes—with or without injection ports—within our Extension Sets range.
Manifolds
Manifolds provide multiple access points for simultaneous infusions:
- Configurations: Available in 3-port and 5-port configurations, both featuring integrated stopcocks.²
- Clinical Use: Common in ICU and anaesthesia settings for complex medication regimens.³
- Design Enhancements: Configurations contain 2-way or 3-way stopcocks, stopcocks with needle-free connector (NFC), and 3 gang or 5 gang manifolds.²
Filters
- Function: Add-on filters attach to IV administration lines to allow the passage of aqueous solutions while blocking microbial cells and air of similar or larger size.⁴
- Types: Available in two configurations:
- 0.2 micron filters – designed to remove bacteria and air.
- 1.2 micron filters – suitable for lipid-based solutions.
Filters may also be integrated directly into IV sets for streamlined use.⁴
- Placement: Typically positioned near the patient end of the line or within extension sets for enhanced protection and convenience.⁴
- Clinical Relevance: Helps reduce the risk of complications such as phlebitis, granuloma, arterial embolism, modulation of immune response, microcirculation deterioration and even death.⁵
Caps
Caps are used to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
- Types: Combistopper, caps and caps with injection port.
- Cap Compatibility: male or female, luer slip or luer lock.⁶
- Use Cases: Applied to needle-free connectors, stopcocks and open ports when not in use.
