Devices designed to regulate and/or stop the flow of fluid through a conduit (e.g., a pipe, tubing) or at its outlet. Stopcocks are frequently used in healthcare facilities as integrated components of medical devices and laboratory equipment (e.g., burettes) and in central gas or liquid supply lines; they are also available as separate components to replace worn-out devices and/or as general supplies (e.g., for use in intravenous therapy).
