Key Features:

Long-term intravenous access for weeks to months
Minimally invasive insertion using sterile technique
Radiologically guided placement for accuracy
Reduced risk of repeated vein punctures
Suitable for patients with difficult vascular access

Frequent Blood Draws: Patients with fragile veins needing repeated blood sampling
Long-Term Medication Infusion: Such as antifungals, antivirals, or other medications
