Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter, Single Chamber Systems Manufacturers

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is a form of intravenous access that is used for a prolonged period of time. A PICC is inserted in a peripheral vein, such as the cephalic vein, basilic vein or brachial vein and then advanced through increasingly larger veins, toward the heart until the tip rests in the distal superior vena cava or cavo-atrial junction. PICCs are inserted by radiologists, physician assistants, radiologist assistants or certified registered nurses using ultrasound, chest radiographs and fluoroscopy to aid in the insertion and to confirm placement.
