This is a long, thin tube that's inserted through a vein in your arm and passed through to the larger veins near your heart. Very rarely, the PICC line may be placed in the leg via greater saphenous vein especially on pediatric patients. It's generally used for long-term antibiotic treatment, hydration therapy, total parenteral nutrition, certain types of chemotherapy and pain management. Most importantly, this line helps avoid the pain of frequent needle sticks and reduce the risk of irritation to the smaller veins in the arms.

We provide services on port access to either PAS-port or Port-A-Cath.
