What are Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs)?
Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) are a type of central venous catheter that are inserted into a peripheral vein, typically in the arm, and advanced through the venous system until the tip resides in a large central vein near the heart. They are used for prolonged intravenous therapy, such as chemotherapy, extended antibiotic treatment, or parenteral nutrition.
