 Specific types of long-term central lines are the Hickman catheters, which require clamps to make sure that the valve is closed, and Groshong catheters, which have a valve that opens as fluid is withdrawn or infused and remains closed when not in use.Hickman lines also have a "cuff" under the skin, to prevent bacterial migration.The cuff also causes tissue ingrowth into the device for long term securement.
