The First Innovation in Acute Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Insertion to Break Decades of Silence

Presented by: Becton, Dickinson and Company

Speaker: Anthony Frank, MD, MBA, FACEP, CPE, Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs & Chief Medical Officer, UNC Health Blue Ridge

Day & Time: Tuesday, October 6, 10:30am – 11:15am

Location: Exhibit Hall, Expert Theater Hall Two

Central line placement is one of the most routine procedures in the ED- but routine doesn’t mean risk free. For decades clinicians have had to manage the complexities within central line procedures, with dozens of steps and potential failure modes that increase the risk of complications. Kits provide an incomplete jumbled set of components, leaving clinicians to navigate the procedure with what’s available. There was no alternative. Until now.

Introducing CentroVena One™ — the world's first all-in-one central line system that simplifies the procedure by integrating the guidewire, needle, syringe, and catheter into one streamlined system. CentroVena One™ delivers 50% reduced average insertion time, 30% fewer procedural steps, and is the only central line on the market designed to prevent guidewire embolism — helping reduce the risks created by complexity right when it matters most.

In this session, Dr. Anthony Frank will explore how this first-of-kind innovation is redefining what's possible at the bedside — and what it means for the future of acute CVC insertion in the emergency department.
