Permacath Placement

Permacath Placement

Permacath placement is a medical procedure where a long-term central venous catheter is inserted into a large vein, typically the jugular or subclavian vein, to facilitate extended intravenous treatments. This type of catheter is designed for patients who require frequent or prolonged access to their bloodstream, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, dialysis, or long-term antibiotic therapy. Permacath placement is minimally invasive and offers a reliable means of delivering medications, nutrients, or withdrawing blood without the need for repeated needle insertions, reducing discomfort and infection risks.
