venous access devices
Venous access devices are tools used by healthcare professionals to deliver medications, fluids, or nutrients directly into a patient's vein. They help provide treatment safely and effectively, especially for long-term therapy or when multiple medications are needed. Common types include catheters inserted into a vein, such as PICC lines or ports, which remain in place for days, weeks, or months. These devices reduce the need for repeated needle sticks and improve patient comfort. Proper care and maintenance are essential to prevent infections and ensure the device functions correctly during treatment.
