This pages are dedicated to helping patients, families, and caregivers better understand vascular access - what it is, why it’s sometimes necessary, and the different types available. 

We explain the basics of the vascular system and introduce two common vascular access devices: port catheters and PICC lines.

Our goal is to provide clear, easy-to-understand information to support awareness and informed conversations with healthcare providers. 

Please note that the information within this website is not intended for self-diagnosis. It is in no way a substitute for a medical diagnosis and advice.
