Discover How Innovation with a Purpose is Advancing Practice in
Critical Care and Surgery
LIMERICK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 2013--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical devices for critical care and surgery, is committed to helping
clinicians improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Teleflex will showcase its broad portfolio of brands, products and
technologies at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2013 annual meeting, October 12-16,
in San Francisco, CA.
“At Teleflex, we are dedicated to solving unmet clinical needs and
delivering positive outcomes for clinicians, patients and buyers through
Purpose-Driven Innovation,” said Cary Vance, President of the Teleflex
Anesthesia and Respiratory Division. “Over the past several years
Teleflex has united trusted brands, products and technologies. We look
forward to sharing the value of choosing Teleflex as a preferred partner
with the entire anesthesiology community.”
Teleflex, through its Arrow, LMA, Hudson RCI and Rusch brands, has a
strong history of delivering practical innovation pioneered by
physicians and clinicians. Several of these will be highlighted at the
Teleflex booth at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2013:
-
Rusch® EZ-Blocker™ Endobronchial Blocker
Designed
and developed by an anesthesiologist, this endobronchial blocker is an
intuitive, secure method for lung isolation and one-lung ventilation,
improving physician confidence during critical procedures.
-
Arrow® FlexBlock®
Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) Catheter and AutoFuser®
Disposable Pain Pump
Continuing a long legacy of innovation
in catheter design, this new PNB technology enables anesthesiologists
to visualize precise tip placement for optimal pain control. The
disposable pain pump features continuous infusion with an on-demand
patient controlled bolus that effectively and efficiently manages
postoperative pain. These two products combine to deliver improved
outcomes for the patient and physician.
-
LMA Supreme® Supraglottic Airway
This
advanced LMA® Airway, with its unique Second Seal™
technology, provides a higher degree of safety in routine cases, and
makes it possible to extend laryngeal mask airway use to more
challenging cases.
-
Hudson RCI® ISO-Gard®
Mask with ClearAir™ Technology
The first of its kind, this
technology was developed by Teleflex in partnership with clinicians
who identified an issue and wanted to take action. As the only
solution available for “source control” of waste anesthetic gas in the
recovery room, the specialized ClearAir™ Technology of the ISO-Gard®
Mask simultaneously delivers oxygen to patients and scavenges their
exhalation to help limit exposure faced by clinicians.
Teleflex is an Industry Supporter of the American Society of
Anesthesiologists and will be hosting a Purpose-Driven Trivia Challenge
at the Teleflex booth #1804, with proceeds benefiting the Lifebox
Foundation, a charity of the ASA Charitable Foundation.
