This patient information booklet provides essential guidance on the Arrow Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC).
A PICC is a small tube inserted into a blood vessel, typically in the arm, to administer medications or nutritional fluids over an extended period. It serves as a convenient alternative to frequent needle sticks or surgical procedures for intravenous access.
This guide details the proper care and maintenance of the PICC, including dressing changes and flushing procedures, as well as information on recognizing and managing potential complications.
For comprehensive care, always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
