Intervention model description: The patients will be enrolled into one of two study groups, depending on the decision of the attending physician.
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: The study will evaluate a new type of cyanoacrylate tissue glue Secure PortIV on the insertion site of the PICC (Peripherally inserted central catheter) or Midline catheters. Fixation of the catheter with the tissue glue should prevent incidents of mechanical and infective phlebitis as well as external migrations of the catheters.

Detailed description: In the study, 125 subjects will receive the new tissue glue Secure PortIV and 125 subjects will be provided standard care. The tissue glue will be applied immediately after insertion. Evaluation and re-evaluation of the site will be done on the first and seventh day after insertion using VIP and CLISA (Central-Line Insertion Site Assessment) scale and on the seventh day with taking a swab from the insertion site; the external length will be measured on the first and the seventh day, in order to observe the migration or not.

The goal of the study is to evaluate the benefits of the cyanoacrylate tissue glue Secure PortIV in the prevention of mechanical and infective phlebitis and external migration of the catheter.
