  • Title: [Phlebitogenicity of venous catheters of Vialon].
    Author: Fassolt A.
    Journal: Infusionsther Klin Ernahr; 1985 Dec; 12(6):282-6. PubMed ID: 4093198.
    Abstract:
    During three days 132 surgical patients with postoperative infusion treatment were checked on the frequency of venous reactions in the arms when catheters/cannulas of 4 different materials were used and the outcome compared. A significant result was obtained in connection with the I-cath catheter made of vialon (a polyurethanelike resin polymer) and the L-cath of polyurethane. Phlebitis was decreased to 27.3% resp. 24.2% - approximately half of its usual frequency - when I-cath of polyvinyl-chloride and FEP-teflon vasofix cannulas were applied (both 51.5%). The different predisposing factors of infusion phlebitis are under discussion.
