A PICC clinic, or Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter clinic, is a specialized medical facility or unit where healthcare professionals insert, manage, and care for PICC lines. A PICC line is a long, thin tube that is inserted through a vein in the arm and threaded through to a larger vein near the heart. It is used to provide intravenous (IV) access for an extended period, often weeks to months, and is typically more comfortable and less invasive than other types of central venous access.

PICC lines are often used for patients who require long-term intravenous therapy, such as chemotherapy, antibiotic treatment, or nutritional support. They offer a more stable and reliable means of administering medications and fluids over an extended period compared to traditional IV catheters.
