Its tip sits in a large central vein near the heart, allowing reliable long-term IV access. It is commonly used in hospitals and outpatient infusion settings for weeks to months of treatment. In orthopedic care, it is often discussed when prolonged IV antibiotics are needed for bone or joint infections."}
