BD India has announced the national launch of the Sherlock 3CG+ system across four major cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. This cutting-edge technology is poised to transform the placement of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) by enabling clinicians to confirm tip placement in real-time at the patient's bedside.
The technology addresses delays and discomfort commonly associated with traditional radiological imaging, promising a significant reduction in malposition rates and streamlined workflow. Clinical evidence highlights that the Sherlock 3CG+ system reduces the procedure's average time from over two hours to approximately 33 minutes.
The recent launch event attracted leading medical professionals, reiterating BD's commitment to enhancing healthcare outcomes by introducing innovative solutions like the Sherlock 3CG+. With this nationwide rollout, BD aims to establish a new standard of care, shifting from radiology-based to ECG-based confirmation.
