    Central venous access devices like PICC lines and Portacaths are used to draw blood and deliver fluids and drugs. A PICC line is inserted into a vein in the arm and threaded into a large vein near the heart. A Portacath is surgically placed under the skin in the chest and remains there for weeks or months. Both devices allow for repeated access to the central veins without needing new needle sticks each time.
