Tunneling Possibilities According To The Type of Central Venous Access

 

This infographic compares tunneling options according to the type of central venous access (PICC, CICC, and FICC), using simplified body diagrams to show possible tunneling directions between recommended skin zones. Color‑coded areas and arrows illustrate how tunneling paths vary depending on the device and anatomical location, helping guide appropriate exit‑site positioning.
