Ten commercially available unused intravenous catheters were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Different types of irregularities in the external and internal surface could be detected in all catheters examined. Representative examples were demonstrated in 6 SEM-photos. The possible role of such irregularities in favouring bacterial attachment to catheter surfaces was discussed.
通过扫描电子显微镜（SEM）对10根市售未使用过的静脉导管进行了研究。在所有检查的导管中均能检测到内外表面存在不同类型的不规则情况。6张扫描电子显微镜照片展示了具有代表性的例子。讨论了此类不规则情况在促进细菌附着于导管表面方面可能发挥的作用。
