WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2014--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care and surgery, is commemorating the 200th
anniversary of the Pilling® Brand in the marketplace.
The Pilling® Brand established itself as one of the first
surgical instrument manufacturers in the United states when George
Pilling recognized an important need faced by hospitals in the
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. They required new tools to provide
improved care to their patients, so in 1814 the Pilling®
Brand offered the solution.
Since 1814, Pilling® Instruments have been designed and
manufactured to set the standard for high-quality surgical
instrumentation. The tradition of innovation and craftsmanship is still
alive today.
Over its tenure of 200 years, the Pilling® Brand has gained
international acclaim for maintaining high standards of quality while
providing exceptional surgical tools. As surgical procedure requirements
change, so do the needs of individual surgeons so Teleflex works closely
with the world's top specialists to provide customized instrumentation.
Teleflex continues to emphasize customer service and satisfaction with
the knowledge that every instrument manufactured under the Pilling®
Brand is backed by 200 years of experience.
As an integrated part of the Teleflex family, the Pilling® Brand
continues to focus on handcrafted instrumentation that meets the
surgeon’s requirements.
