A Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is a long-term IV catheter inserted into a peripheral vein (usually in the arm) and advanced toward the heart. This device is used for delivering medications, fluids, or nutritional support to patients who need long-term intravenous access, particularly for treatments like chemotherapy, antibiotics, or nutritional solutions.

Unlike traditional central venous catheters, PICC lines are less invasive, often used for patients who require prolonged intravenous therapy but don't require a full surgical procedure for central venous access.
