Midline Catheters

Midline Catheters for IV therapies

Midline catheters offer an alternative vascular access solution to IV Cannula, PICCs & CVCs to provide IV therapies to patients. Midlines provide vascular access in a larger peripheral vein without entering the central venous circulation.

Key benefits to choosing a midline catheter is ensuring less frequent resisting of the catheter, as well as a longer-term duration time, therefore reducing associated venous trauma.

Depending on your patient’s vascular access and therapy requirements, you still may wish to select and place a PICC, CVC, or port.  To help you make the best choice for your patient, see our vascular access device selection matrix here.
