NaviCurve™ Stylet Versus BD Sherlock 3CG™ Stylet Benchtop Study

In a benchtop study mirroring difficult vasculature, the Arrow® PICC preloaded with NaviCurve™ Stylet reached the SVC on the first attempt 90% of the time during catheter advancement while the BD PICC preloaded with Sherlock Stylet reached the SVC 0% of the time during first attempt catheter advancement, in this simulated model.1

Bench test data may not be indicative of clinical performance. This video contains the results of benchtop insertions in a simulated use anatomical model. The purpose of the testing was to compare the success rate (ie, percent/proportion of parts that drop on the first attempt) of NaviCurve™ Stylet to both the TipTracker™ Stylet and the BD Sherlock Stylet, when all PICCs were assembled with their respective brand of two lumen PICCs.
