Incidence of the Curvature of a Catheter on the Variations of the Inner Volume: Application to the Peripherally Central Catheters

Table 1

Numerical values of the percentage of variation of the inner volume for different values of the inner diameter 𝑑 and for different values of the thickness 𝑒 of the catheter, obtained from the numerical simulation for the maximum possible value of the Poisson’s ratio 𝜈=0,5.
