Becton, Dickinson and CompanyBDX
Health Care

Develops devices and consumables for medication delivery, specimen collection, patient monitoring, biopharma drug delivery, and surgical and vascular intervention. Revenue spans four segments and a global customer base, with recurring consumables alongside installed infusion, dispensing, and monitoring systems.

Develops and manufactures medical supplies and devices through Medical Essentials, Connected Care, BioPharma Systems, and Interventional. The portfolio spans vascular-access and specimen-collection products; Alaris infusion and Pyxis medication-management systems; advanced patient monitoring; prefillable syringes and self-injection components; and urology, peripheral-vascular, oncology, and surgical tools.

Sells worldwide to hospitals and clinics, laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and other care providers, with the United States generating most revenue. Installed infusion, dispensing, and monitoring systems pair with recurring demand for disposable supplies and consumables.

Scale in high-volume essentials combines with integrated medication workflows, while acquired monitoring and interventional platforms broaden clinical coverage. Demand and market access depend on healthcare purchasing and reimbursement, regulatory authorizations and quality-system compliance, and access to raw materials, components, and sterilization capacity.
