Learn About PICC and Midline Catheters
PICC Line
A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a long, thin tube inserted into a peripheral vein, usually in the arm, and threaded into a more prominent vein near the heart. This catheter is designed for long-term intravenous (IV) access, making it suitable for patients requiring extended therapy.
Why Use a PICC Line?
Extended Treatment Duration: PICC lines are ideal for patients who need long-term IV therapy (weeks to months), such as chemotherapy, antibiotics, or total parenteral nutrition.
- Minimized Discomfort: They provide a more comfortable experience, as they are less likely to irritate veins and avoid the discomfort associated with frequent needle sticks.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Inserted under sterile conditions by trained professionals, PICC lines minimize the risk of infections and complications related to repeated peripheral access.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for various treatments, including medication administration, blood draws, and nutrition delivery.
- Improved Quality of Life: PICC lines enhance patient quality of life by providing reliable access to the bloodstream for complex treatment regimens.
Midline Catheter
A Midline catheter is an IV catheter inserted into a peripheral vein, but it is positioned slightly further than a traditional peripheral IV, usually terminating in the upper arm. Midlines are typically used for shorter-term therapies compared to PICC lines.
Why Use a Midline Catheter?
Short—to Medium-Term IV Access: Midline catheters are excellent for patients requiring IV therapy lasting from a few days to several weeks. They are suitable for treatments such as hydration, antibiotic therapy, or medication administration.
- Less Invasive than PICC Lines: Midlines offer a less invasive option for patients who do not require the longer-term access provided by PICC lines, reducing the likelihood of complications.
- Improved Patient Comfort: Like PICC lines, Midlines provide a comfortable insertion site, minimizing irritation and discomfort from frequent venous access.
- Easier Maintenance: Midline catheters can often be managed with fewer restrictions than central lines, allowing for a more flexible treatment approach.
Our certified professionals ensure that PICC and Midline catheter insertions are performed with expertise and care, prioritizing patient safety and comfort.
