Abstract
Nine brands of i.v. catheter were tested for toxicity in a human bone marrow culture system, and content and leaching of plasticizers determined. Three catheters showed toxicity to the culture system and 3 others leached di-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate in appreciable amounts.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
