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.

CentroVena One is now commercially available in the U.S.
