Mini Midline Catheter Vs PICC

With the development of intravenous infusion therapy technology, a variety of intravenous indwelling catheters are widely used in the clinic. Mini midline catheters and PICC are two of them.

Peripheral indwelling needles are usually left in place for 3-4 days while PICCs can be left in place for 1 month - 1 year. As a new type of therapeutic tubing, the mini midline catheter better fills the gap between peripheral indwelling needles and PICC indwelling time.

Mini midline catheters are peripheral intravenous infusion devices between short catheters and midline catheters, usually placed in a superficial forearm vein using conventional puncture techniques or in a deep mid-upper arm vein using ultrasound-guided techniques.

The mini midline catheter kit can meet the needs of patients with a treatment cycle of 1-4 weeks. It can not only reduce the pain caused by repeated punctures, but also has the characteristics of fewer complications, longer service life, and low price. Mini midline catheter insertion also provides clinicians with the safety and efficient care productivity for intravenous drug therapy.

Advantages of Mini Midline Catheter Placement

 

1. Advanced medical polyurethane material is used.

2. Integrated design, easy to operate, not easy to fall out, good stability.

3. The unique catheter connection method ensures that the catheter is always in a sterile state after indwelling.

4. Fast flow rate, can be used for patients with rapid fluid and blood replenishment.

5. Side-hole needle technology to shorten the whole puncture time and no need for X-ray positioning after a successful puncture.

6. Clever and reasonable use of Sedinger format puncture under color ultrasound guidance to reduce the chance of infection.

7. Mini midline catheter duration time of 1-4 weeks, mini midline catheter better fills the gap of peripheral indwelling needle and PICC retention time.

 

Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter (PICC)

 

A PICC is a thin and flexible catheter that enters the body through the skin at a peripheral site until the internal tip of the catheter enters the superior vena cava and is allowed to remain in place (stay in the vein) for several days or weeks.

The Distinguishing Benefits of PICC

 

1. PICC lines can be maintained for a longer dwell time than other central venous accesses.

2. PICC catheters are made of advanced medical polyurethane material that is anti-microbial and prevents the formation of blood clots.

3. Soft integrated fixed disc to reduce the irritation to neonates’ delicate skin

4. Thin catheters can be secured with an easy-to-handle good lock, which improves patient comfort.

5. The catheter is radiopaque and visualized on a chest x-ray, aiding in positioning control.

6. They can also be used to take blood samples if the lumen of the PICC is large enough.

7. The slender PICC catheter tip is soft and flexible, making it easy to use and reducing the risk of vessel wall trauma and phlebitis during and after catheter insertion.
