Marcus Döring's cancer therapy: catheters

First of all, a catheter is installed to help the patient. It makes the giving of infusions much easier and more comfortable. The catheter is laid into a vein and taped to the respective body location. It mainly consists of a) the needle or a very small flexible plastic tube which is inserted into the vein and of b) one or more screw caps to which the infusion cables can be attached.
