BARD Oncology Products and Services are designed for the detection and management of various cancers. These include specialty access catheters and implantable ports; gastroenterological products (endoscopic accessories, percutaneous feeding devices and stents); and biopsy devices.
BARD pioneered the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). PICCs can remain in place over longer periods of time than IV catheters, potentially reducing the number of needlesticks for the patient.
BARD developed the POWERPORT® device, which offers the unique ability to provide access for power-injected Contrast-Enhanced Computer Tomography (CECT) scans. Power-injected CECT scans produce superior images of the body to help the medical team better manage patient care. With a POWERPORT® Implantable Port, patients receive IV therapy and CECT scans without having to undergo repeated needle-sticks in their arm or wrist veins.
