A Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line is a long, skinny tube made of a soft Flexible plastic. The PICC is placed in a vein in the arm. PICC lines are increasingly the treatment of choice for patients receiving weeks of IV antibiotics or therapy. They can be inserted safely and managed easily, away from the hospital, and pose relatively low risks of complications.
