PICC Line

A PICC line, or Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter, is a long, flexible tube inserted into a peripheral vein in the arm and advanced to a large vein near the heart. PICC lines are used for prolonged intravenous antibiotics, nutrition, and medication administration, reducing the need for multiple needle sticks.
