Abstract
In order to flush away local bleeding during surgery with a medical instrument, the instruments are commonly provided with a flushing device. In order to be able to control an inflow and outflow of a flushing liquid, the instruments have a stopcock. In order to achieve the sealing action of the stopcock, the plugs of the stopcock have to be formed with a very high degree of precision. The known production processes for such plugs are very cumbersome and cost-intensive. This provides a plug for a stopcock and a stopcock and a method for producing a plug, by way of which the stated problem is eliminated. This is achieved in that a plug, with a grip part and a cone part, is formed in one part and can be produced in a single process step.
