LIMERICK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 10, 2013--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care and surgery, has announced it has received FDA
510(k) clearance to market its ARROW® NextStep®
Retrograde Femoral Length Dialysis Catheters. Designed for clinician
ease of insertion and sustained high flow rates, the ARROW NextStep
Retrograde Femoral Length Catheters further strengthen the NextStep
Hemodialysis Catheter portfolio.
“Providing clinicians with the ARROW NextStep Femoral Length Catheters
continues a series of new product introductions that demonstrates our

Division. “We are proud to add the ARROW NextStep Retrograde Femoral
Length Catheter to our portfolio.”
The ARROW NextStep Retrograde Hemodialysis Catheter is the first of its
kind designed to take better advantage of the blood flow dynamics within
the heart through its unique reversed port configuration, where the
venous port resides in the superior vena cava and the arterial port in
the right atrium, resulting in reduced recirculation and high flow
rates. The unique NextStep Tip is designed for smooth, over-the-wire
transitions during catheter insertions and exchanges.
