Vascular Access · Hospital Partnerships

The line is in.
Confirmed. Documented. Done.

Northern Lights Medical places PICC lines and midline catheters for hospital systems — at the bedside, with imaging confirmation on every placement, around the clock. We have been doing exactly this, and only this, since 2015.

Why hospitals keep us

A vascular access program without the program overhead.

Your patients need lines. Your nurses need their shifts back. Your CFO needs a number that only moves when procedures happen. That is the entire model.

We bring everything

Inserters, insertion kits, supplies, and imaging confirmation — a vendor-provided supply chain end to end. No capital outlay, no inventory burden, no FTE additions on your side.

Per-procedure economics

You are billed per procedure on net-30 terms. No retainers, no minimums, no subscription. Volume flexes with your census — the cost structure flexes with it.

Credentialed fast

Our clinicians move through hospital credentialing quickly because we have done it again and again. From signed agreement to first placement in days, not quarters.

What we place

PICC lines. Midlines. Difficult access.

Power PICC, Triple Lumen Power PICC, and midline catheter placement at the bedside — with X-ray tip confirmation before we call it done.

Bedside placement — patients stay on the unit; no transport, no procedure-suite scheduling.
Imaging confirmation on every line — placement isn't complete until the tip is confirmed.
After-hours, weekend, and holiday coverage — vascular access does not keep business hours, and neither do we.
Overflow and relief support — we backstop in-house teams during surges, vacancies, and ramp-ups.

If vascular access is a staffing problem at your facility, it doesn't have to be.

One conversation is usually enough to know whether the model fits.
