An intravenous catheter is a hollow and flexible plastic tube that is inserted into a vein to administer fluids and medicines. Most intravenous catheters are peripheral, meaning they go into a vein far from the heart, such as in the wrist. However, catheters can also be inserted into larger veins closer to the heart.
