Becton Dickinson and Company Launches Bd Centrovena One Insertion System Becton announced the commercial launch of the BD CentroVena One Insertion System, the first all-in-one central venous catheter insertion device on the market. The system is designed to simplify central line placement for clinicians and enhance patient safety by streamlining key steps and incorporating safety-focused design elements that support consistent, efficient care in high-pressure acute settings. Central line insertion is performed millions of times each year in the U.S., yet the traditional process remains complex. It requires multiple component exchanges that can introduce contamination, create workflow delays and increase the risk of complications such as pneumothorax, arterial injury, air or guidewire embolism, bloodstream infections and needlestick injuries. The CentroVena One Insertion System helps address these challenges by consolidating essential components – including the introducer needle, syringe, guidewire and catheter – into a single platform. Compared to the current standard of care, this innovative approach is designed to: Simplify workflow with 30% fewer steps; Reduce insertion time by 50%; Reduce contamination risk by minimizing touchpoints during catheter insertion; Help protect against insertion-related complications. UNC Health Blue Ridge is among the first health systems to pilot the CentroVena One system in patient care as part of an initial clinical evaluation. Key features of the CentroVena One Insertion System include: Pre-loaded kink-resistant guidewire; Integrated drape clip permanently attached to the guidewire, designed to prevent guidewire embolism; Pre-loaded catheter with self-dilating tip, eliminating the need for a separate dilation step; Introducer needle with integrated passive needle safety, designed to reduce the risk of needlestick injury; Closed insertion system designed to help reduce the risk of air embolism, clinician blood exposure and patient blood loss. The CentroVena One Insertion System received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance and was accepted into the FDA Safer Technologies Program (STeP) for Medical Devices, a prestigious recognition for substantial safety innovations. The commercial launch of CentroVena One marks BD's entry into the acute CVC market and expands its vascular access portfolio.

Becton Dickinson and Company Announces Clinical Findings for BD Purewick Urine Collection System Becton, Dickinson and Company announced new clinical findings revealing that women managing nighttime urinary incontinence reported better sleep and greater overall comfort when using the BD PureWick Urine Collection System. According to the study, published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, participants highlighted the system's ease of use and the non-invasive design of the PureWick Flex Female External Catheter as key factors in helping them rest more comfortably through the night. Bladder leakage affects millions of people and can disrupt sleep, cause skin irritation and reduce confidence and independence — especially among older adults. The PureWick Urine Collection System offers a gentle, non-invasive option designed to help users stay dry overnight without the need for internal catheters, frequent pad changes, or leaving the bed to go to the bathroom. In a four-week randomized trial of 165 women, the PureWick Flex Female External Catheter was compared to a traditional female urinary pouch. Key findings include: Improved sleep and quality of life, Safe and effective urine capture, Easier to place and remove, Low incidence of skin irritation, Approximately 70% would like to continue using PureWick External Catheters. With most participants aged 65 and older, the results highlight the PureWick Urine Collection System as an option for women who value independence and want to remain active in their own homes. The system uses a soft, flexible external absorbent material and gentle suction to draw away voided urine from the body into a collection canister, helping keep skin dry throughout the night. Sponsored by BD and conducted across 13 clinical sites in the United States, this represents one of the first randomized studies of non-invasive urinary management devices in a home environment focused on patient experience, clinical outcomes and usability.

Becton, Dickinson and Company Submits Application to FDA for At-Home Hpv Test with Self-Collection Swab and High-Tech Laboratory Robotics Becton, Dickinson and Company announced it has submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a new, at-home human papillomavirus test that enables patients to self-collect a sample in the comfort of their own home using a swab the size of a Q-tip that simplifies processing at the lab and reports more high-risk strains of HPV than any other test on the market today. When available, the new HPV test from BD will include a self-collection swab technology that offers a safe, simple and non-invasive collection experience without the need for liquids or complex devices. The stability of the swab also allows for convenient mailing from home to the lab, removing logistical barriers and supporting broader participation in cervical cancer screening programs. At the lab, the self-collected swab needs no manual sample preparation by clinical laboratory technologists, which allows them to focus on higher value work. The sample is simply placed into the BD COR System and the fully automated process uses sophisticated robotics to prepare, analyze and report results for each sample. Using an internal cellular control and minimizing manual touch and intervention ensures the integrity of the specimen from collection to delivery of dependable, high-quality results. Importantly, the BD Onclarity Assay can also report more individual high-risk strains of HPV more than any other test available today. This is a must-have attribute in today's testing paradigm, due to the shifting prevalence of high-risk genotypes beyond HPV 16/18. In November 2024, a survey of more than 1,100 women in the U.S. conducted online by the Harris Poll found that 72% of women in the United States have delayed having a gynecology visit, with many highlighting the need for greater convenience, comfort and ease for this critical cervical cancer screening process. The study also found that 81% of women want more comfortable and less invasive HPV/cervical cancer testing options versus a pelvic exam, with 74% indicating interest in using a self-collection vaginal swab test at home in place of going to an office or clinic where a doctor uses a speculum to collect a sample from their cervix. Earlier this year, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology added the BD Onclarity Assay to its Enduring Risk-Based Management Guidelines, due to its ability to individually identify more high-risk types of HPV. Self-collection for HPV/cervical cancer screening is also among the draft recommendations by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which helps guide health care providers in the U.S. about the effectiveness of specific preventive care services to improve the health of people nationwide.

Becton, Dickinson and Company Announces Cancer Patients Face Elevated Risk of Carrying Antimicrobial Resistant 'Superbugs' Becton, Dickinson and Company provided new data showing that cancer patients in both hospital and outpatient settings are at a substantially higher risk of developing antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections compared to all other non-cancer patients. The studies, led by the Cancer and AMR Consortium, which includes BD (Becton, Dickinson and company), the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), and the AMR Action Fund, found AMR rates among key pathogens were 1 to 3 times higher, and up to 5 times greater with some specific pathogen-source combinations in outpatient cancer patients;3 and 1.5 to 2 times more likely in hospitalized cancer patients as compared to non-cancer patients2. Studies examined data on more than 1.6 million bacterial isolates collected from 198 outpatient facilities in the U.S. and more than 4.6 million admissions across 168 U.S. hospitals. Together, the two studies, which are understood to be the first large, multi-center studies to quantify AMR among cancer patients in the U.S., offer some of the strongest evidence to date that superbugs pose a substantial risk to cancer patients across a variety of settings. The rise of AMR is rapidly diminishing the effectiveness of available antimicrobial medicines, contributing to approximately 4.7 million deaths per year. Antibiotics and other antimicrobials like antifungals play a critical role in cancer care, both as a treatment for infections and as a preventative treatment to reduce the risk of infections associated with certain medical procedures, such as surgery or chemotherapy.

Becton, Dickinson and Company Launches Next Generation Hemodynamic Monitoring Solution Providing Clinicians with Ai-Driven Clinical Decision Support BD has launched a new advanced hemodynamic monitoring platform with predictive, artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithms that can help clinicians proactively address blood pressure instability and optimize blood flow to help avoid potential life-threatening situations during procedures. HemoSphere Alta platform is the company's most advanced hemodynamic monitoring technology available and is the first major product launch from the Advanced Patient Monitoring business since its acquisition by BD. The new product advances BD's leadership in smart, connected care technologies that use clinical data and AI to help clinicians improve patient outcomes and optimize clinical workflows. One of the key innovations is the new Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI), a first-of-its-kind parameter that indicates whether the brain is likely to maintain stable blood flow despite changes in blood pressure and offers personalized insights into a patient's blood pressure requirements. Clinicians can access CAI when using a noninvasive ForeSight IQ™ Sensor, placed on the patient's forehead, combined with an Acumen IQ™? Sensor, connected to the patient's arterial line. The HemoSphere Alta™ platform also includes the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software that predicts when a patient could have a low blood pressure event, which has been demonstrated to reduce the depth, duration and severity of hypotension in several large multicenter studies. The new monitor also features an improved design to streamline the user experience, including a larger 15" high-resolution, customizable touchscreen display, split-screen views and is designed to minimize disruptive pop-ups. Voice and gesture command features help maintain sterility and allow for hands-free interaction with the monitor, such as silencing alarms and switching views. These improvements offer a more intuitive and efficient interface. With the recent acquisition of Advanced Patient Monitoring, BD continues to advance its collaboration with clinicians to develop advanced patient monitoring solutions that help improve the quality of care for patients around the world.

Becton, Dickinson and Company Announces Milestone in Clinical Trial for Use of Bioabsorbable GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold in Breast Implant Revision Surgery BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) announced the first patient treated in an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial intended to advance BD's efforts to achieve Premarket Approval (PMA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold in decreasing capsular contracture (CC) recurrence during breast revision surgery. Implant-based breast surgery is among the most common plastic surgery procedures performed each year in the U.S., and capsular contracture, a condition where the scar tissue naturally forming around the implant becomes unusually hard, causing pain and anatomical displacement, is its most frequent complication, with overall incidence ranging from 10% to 20%1-5. At advanced stages, CC necessitates treatment through surgical intervention, and when performed using conventional techniques, the risk of recurrence may be as high as 54%6. This multi-center Study of GalaFLEX LITE™ Poly-4-Hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) Scaffold in Treatment of Capsular Contracture after Breast Implant Augmentation (STANCE) is a pivotal study that aims to evaluate whether GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold, when used in breast revision surgery, decreases the likelihood of CC and or malposition. The trial further positions BD as a leader in advanced biomaterial science – driving transformative change in how tissue is reconstructed. GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold is engineered to conform to the desired anatomical structure and provide immediate strength and stability throughout the wound healing period7. It is made from P4HB, a fully absorbable, biologically-derived polymer with more than 10 years of clinical use supporting hernia repair and other plastic and reconstructive procedures where soft tissue weakness or deficiency exists. The following five sites are currently enrolling patients: HKB Cosmetic Surgery (Various Locations, North Carolina) – Principal Investigator: Dr. Bill Kortesis; Sub-Investigators: Dr. Gaurav Bharti, Dr. Shawna Kleban, Dr. Brett Baker. Billington Plastic Surgery (St. Petersburg, Florida) – Principal Investigator: Dr. Alicia Billington The Practice Plastic Surgery (Beverly Hills, California) – Principal Investigator: Dr. Kelly Killeen; Sub-Investigator: Dr. Lisa Cassileth. Plastic Surgery Institute of New York (New York, New York) – Principal Investigator: Dr. Matthew DelMauro; Sub-Investigator: Dr. Adam Shaffner. Newport Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Associates (Newport Beach, California) – Principal Investigator: Dr. Hisham Seify. Essential Medical Research (Tulsa, Oklahoma) – Principal Investigator: Dr. John Tedesco. The trial is expected to enroll at least 250 patients across 40 investigative sites and aims to demonstrate the device's safety and efficacy in breast implant revision surgery to treat capsular contracture. BD is committed to scientific rigor and patient safety and aims to continue proactive FDA engagement in developing products that enhance women's health care. STANCE Study: STANCE (NCT05945329) Study is an ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of GalaFLEX LITE™ scaffold in revision surgery for reduction of capsular contracture recurrence and/or malposition in implant-based breast augmentation patients versus patients undergoing conventional revision surgery with no supportive matrix or acellular dermal matrix (ADM). Patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive either GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold or standard care (no ADM or matrix placement). Aankondiging • Feb 07

Becton, Dickinson and Company Launches Enhanced Intraosseous System, Enabling Vascular Access in Seconds for Critical Care Situations Becton, Dickinson and Company launched the new BD Intraosseous Vascular Access System, enabling access for rapid delivery of fluids or medication in critical emergency situations. The procedure involves inserting a needle into the bone marrow cavity when intravenous (IV) access is challenging or delayed. The BD® IO System can quickly provide access to the circulatory system for adult and pediatric patients and is built for rapid intervention in varied emergent care environments. The BD IO System is the only IO device on the market that can be placed after the extension set is attached and the only with integrated passive needle tip safety, designed to protect care providers and patients against needlestick injuries. Clinicians can stabilize the device on the contours of any surrounding anatomy and select from five needle lengths to accommodate a broad range of patients. Unlike other devices on the market, the powered driver features a rechargeable battery, which extends the life of the drill up to 12 times when compared to non-rechargeable competitive drills. Its unique multi-light battery indicator provides an instant indication of battery status so clinicians can be confident the drill is powered for the procedure. IO access provides a non-collapsible, stable space for the safe administration of any medication or fluids that can also be administered through an IV. IO placement is regarded to be a relatively safe procedure, with a less than one percent chance of serious complications. In critical situations, such as patients with low or no palpable blood pressure, the placement of an IO was twice as likely to be successfully placed compared to placement of a peripheral IV or central venous catheter. Studies show that trained inserters achieve a 93–97% IO placement success rate. BD IO System is now commercially available to customers in the U.S. Aankondiging • Oct 14
Becton, Dickinson and Company Announces New Robotics Solution to Automate, Standardize Single-Cell Research Becton, Dickinson and Company announced the commercial launch of the first in a family of high-throughput, robotics-compatible reagent kits that will enable automation to ensure greater consistency and increased efficiency of large-scale, single-cell discovery studies. The automated solution from the BD and Hamilton collaboration standardizes traditionally manual processes and speeds the generation of material for genetic sequencing. The solution includes the newly released BD OMICS-One XT WTA Assay and the Hamilton Microlab NGS STAR automated liquid handling platform. Because the NGS STAR is already installed in many laboratories and facilities worldwide, more researchers, processing samples across an array of genomics applications, can easily integrate the new automation-ready BD assay into existing workflows. In single-cell discovery studies involving genetic material, constructing preparatory material otherwise called "DNA libraries" is an essential early step. Historically, such preparations have been labor-intensive and time-consuming processes, with numerous manual steps that often lead to variability of results, compromised data quality, limited throughput, high cost and long turnaround times. The BD®? OMICS-One XT Library Preparation Reagent Kits and Hamilton Microlab NGS Star automated liquid handling platform and applications are commercially available globally. The robotics liquid-handling platform is available for purchase from Hamilton, and the reagent kits are available for purchase from BD representatives, or in some regions, through BD's e-commerce portal.
