Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care and surgery, will showcase its comprehensive
surgical portfolio during the International EAES Congress in Vienna,

This year Teleflex is celebrating the 50th anniversary of

visualization of tissue layers during entry. It incorporates ridges on
the cannula providing excellent port stability particularly throughout
extended procedures.
