A midline catheter is 3 inches (7.5 cm) to 8. inches (20 cm) in length, and itâs inserted. via the veins near the antecubital fossa into. the basilic, cephalic, or brachial veins (see. Site selection for midline catheters). The tip is. advanced no farther than the distal axillary. vein in the upper arm.
