Abstrak

Kateter intravena merupakan perangkat medis yang banyak digunakan, namun berisiko menimbulkan komplikasi seperti thrombophlebitis. Material kateter diduga berperan penting, di mana Teflon (PTFE) lebih kaku dan berpotensi mengiritasi endotel, sedangkan Vialon (polyurethane) lebih halus dan fleksibel. Penelitian ini merupakan pilot study deskriptif observasional. Sampel terdiri atas kateter Teflon 20G dan 24G (baru dan telah digunakan) serta Vialon 24G. Pengamatan dilakukan dengan mikroskop cahaya Olympus CX31 perbesaran 10x. Analisis deskriptif membandingkan tekstur, warna, kehalusan, serta adanya goresan atau degradasi antar material dan ukuran. Kateter Vialon memperlihatkan permukaan lebih halus dan homogen dibandingkan Teflon yang lebih kasar dengan ketidakteraturan. Setelah digunakan, Teflon 20G tampak buram, kasar, dan bergaris, menunjukkan degradasi lebih tinggi, sedangkan Teflon 24G relatif lebih stabil dan transparan. Perbedaan ini mengindikasikan material Vialon serta ukuran kateter lebih kecil berpotensi mengurangi risiko iritasi vena dan komplikasi vaskular. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya pemilihan material dan ukuran kateter dalam praktik klinis. Vialon lebih biokompatibel dibandingkan Teflon, sedangkan kateter berdiameter besar lebih rentan terhadap abrasi. Studi lanjutan dengan sampel lebih besar dan teknik mikroskopis resolusi tinggi diperlukan untuk memperkuat bukti.
