October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, highlighting the critical importance of early detection and regular screening. BPL Medical Technologies, India’s leading homegrown medical equipment brand, is committed to making breast cancer screening a regular part of women’s healthcare by offering an advanced digital mammography unit.

With solutions like LILAC, BPL MedTech aims to make early breast cancer detection easier, more comfortable, and more accessible.

Developed by Panacea Medical Technologies and marketed by BPL MedTech, LILAC is designed to transform the traditional mammography experience. The system delivers high-quality, noise-free digital breast images for early detection and precise diagnosis while ensuring patient comfort through its ergonomic design. Featuring an intuitive, streamlined workflow, LILAC allows for quick image acquisition—typically within 10–15 seconds—enabling efficient patient throughput and simplified operation for clinicians. Its wide detector enables simultaneous screening of both breasts without increasing the radiation dose. Compact and versatile, the unit can be deployed in community clinics or mobile screening vans, bringing breast health services closer to women across India.

Dr. Shravan Subramanyam, Managing Director of BPL Medical Technologies, said, “At BPL Medical Technologies, we believe that women should never have to choose between comfort and care. LILAC was created to transform mammography from a stressful appointment into a supportive experience. By making screenings more comfortable, accurate, and widely available, we hope to empower women to prioritise their health without hesitation. Beyond the pink ribbon, what truly matters is action, and LILAC helps turn awareness into life-saving early detection.”

Backed by the legacy of BPL (British Physical Laboratories), BPL Medical Technologies pioneered India’s first ECG machine and continues to design and manufacture a wide range of ‘Made in India’ medical devices, including patient monitors, ventilators, ultrasound and X-ray systems, digital health solutions, and consumer health products.
