Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care and surgery, has announced that they have
donated $10,000 to the American

photo challenge hosted by Teleflex during the 60th

activities in respiratory care. The ARCF seeks to ensure a better,
healthier future for all by promoting prevention, quality treatment and
management of respiratory diseases. These funds will be donated on

(ICRC) to deliver a six-day comprehensive Respiratory Care course
intended for implementation outside of the United States, to enhance the
care of respiratory patients around the world. The course will be
