  • Title: A prospective trial comparing a silicone elastomer intravenous cannula (Visis) with a polytetrafluoroethylene cannula (Cathlon).

    Journal: Br J Surg; 1982 Mar; 69(3):136. PubMed ID: 7039757.
    Abstract:
    Post-infusion phlebitis remains one of the most frequent causes of hospital morbidity with an incidence varying between 13 and 39 per cent (1-4). A recent study indicated that a silicone elastomer cannula (Visis) had desirable properties (5). We have carried out a prospective trial comparing the value of such a cannula with a Teflon cannula (Cathlon) already in routine use.
