π What is a Midline β and why patients love it π
A midline catheter is a longer IV line placed into a vein in the upper arm, giving reliable access for IV fluids and medications for days to weeks.
Unlike normal drips that often fail or need repeated attempts, a midline provides stable, long-lasting access β especially for patients with difficult veins.
β¨ Only ONE prick required
Our specialised staff at Hugo Minnaar INC - Advanced Vascular Access Services places midlines using real-time ultrasound guidance.
This allows us to see the vein before inserting the needle, meaning:
β One needle prick
β Less pain and anxiety
β High first-attempt success
β Arm can bend with no complications
β No repeated IV attempts
π Ideal for:
β’ Patients with difficult IV access (DIVA)
β’ Daily IV failure
β’ Peadiatric Patients
β’ Long-term IV therapy
β’ Frequent IV medications or fluids
β’ Patients tired of being βpoked multiple timesβ
π One poke. Reliable access. Expert care.
