BD Pioneers New Standard in Surgical Safety with FDA-Cleared Surgiphor™ 1000mL for Wound Irrigation

The first and only innovation of its kind to receive 510(k) clearance, Surgiphor™ 1000mL empowers surgical teams with a consistent, antimicrobial solution designed to improve patient care and operating room (OR) efficiency

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced it received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Surgiphor™ 1000mL. As the first and only 1000 mL antimicrobial irrigation system specifically designed for powered lavage, Surgiphor™ 1000mL provides a standardized, OR-ready solution that enhances surgical safety and efficacy.

This latest addition to the Surgiphor™ portfolio empowers clinicians to mechanically loosen and remove debris and microorganism from wounds within powered irrigation workflows. By simplifying these complex procedures, Surgiphor™ 1000mL delivers the consistency, efficiency, and ease of use across a broad range of complex surgical procedures.

Surgiphor™ 1000mL arrives ready-to-use and completely sterile, eliminating the need for hospital staff to mix solutions by hand. This saves valuable time in the operating room while helping hospitals meet global safety guidelines for surgical wound cleaning. 

"This FDA clearance reinforces BD's position as the global leader in surgical irrigation innovation," said Rian Seger, worldwide president of the BD Surgery business. "Surgiphor™ 1000mL is a unique solution that provides the consistency and safety surgical teams expect from BD, allowing them to focus on what matters most: providing better, safer care for their patients."

Building on the adoption of the original Surgiphor™ system, the Surgiphor™ 1000mL configuration gives operating room teams a larger-volume option engineered to fit seamlessly into existing powered irrigation setups.

Key features of Surgiphor™ 1000mL:

• Designed for powered irrigation: Compatible with many commonly used powered lavage devices, allowing quick integration into current OR practice.
• Versatile interchangeability: Includes a powered-device adapter, Y-connector for simple switching between saline and Surgiphor™ solution, and a twist cap for manual use when needed.
• Optimized flow and ergonomics: Integrated venting promotes smooth, unrestricted flow, while a collapsible bottle supports efficient evacuation and handling.
• Terminally sterile PVP‑I solution: Part of the only surgical irrigation portfolio that provides terminally sterile PVP-I solutions in multiple sizes and delivery formats.

The expanded Surgiphor™ portfolio now offers both manual and powered irrigation configurations, giving clinicians flexibility to match the needs of their workflow and patient population.
