WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 23, 2014--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical devices for critical care and surgery, has announced a new group
purchasing agreement with Amerinet covering Teleflex Incorporated’s Weck®
Brand of Ligation Products. The agreement began July 1, 2014 and extends
through July 31, 2016.
For nearly 50 years, surgeons have relied on Weck Ligation Clips from
Teleflex. The ligating clip and applier combination is a system designed
to work together, with the applier specifically and meticulously
designed to apply a specific clip in a precise manner to provide secure,
reliable ligation of vessels in critical surgeries. Weck Metal Ligating
Clips are made with heart-shaped wire and engineered to give each clip a
firm grip on blood vessels. The pre-formed clip allows for precise
tip-to-tip closure to fully engulf the vessel.
The Hem-o-lok® Polymer Locking Ligation System is designed to
give surgeons confidence in clip security — secure in the applier, and
locked on to the patient vessel. The unique polymer locking clip
provides the assurance of secure “cold” ligation during critical nerve
sparing prostatectomy procedures.
“Teleflex’s Surgical team has a long history of working closely with
physicians to develop products that help to improve patient outcomes and
enhance procedural efficiencies,” said John Tushar, President and
General Manager, Surgical Division. “We’re pleased to provide Amerinet
members the clinical and financial benefits of the complete Manual
Ligation product line.”
