LIMERICK, Pa., Feb 23, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care and surgery, has introduced an extension to
its family of Hydrophilic Catheters. The FloCath Quick Female Catheter
kits are specifically designed for female use in intermittent
catheterization.
It's a challenge to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle while
managing one's bladder via intermittent catheterization. The Teleflex
FloCath Quick Female Catheter is an easy to use, compact catheter with
an integrated saline wetting solution and a handling sheath to aid in
insertion. Teleflex offers sterile saline rather than sterile water as
it is closest to the body's natural fluid balance and can help reduce
drying of the mucosal tissue.1
The Teleflex(R) FloCath Quick Female Insertion Kit comes
complete with the FloCath Quick Female Catheter and the insertion
supplies many individuals require. It also includes a measured urine
collection bag and a refuse bag for disposal; all in a compact package.
"The FloCath Quick products offer an easy to use, reasonably priced
solution for those with an active lifestyle looking for a compact way to
manage their bladder," said Linda Beneze, Vice President and General
Manager, Specialty Products. "It's one of our many urology products that
demonstrate our commitment to working as a partner and trusted resource
for our customers."
