Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care and surgery, is committed to connecting
emergency clinicians to technology in a way that improves clinical
practice and patient outcomes. Teleflex will showcase its broad

improved clinical practice and patient outcomes. We look forward to
sharing the value of choosing Teleflex as a preferred partner with the

EMS World Expo 2014 is the first opportunity for Teleflex to introduce
its enhanced EMS Brand presence following the acquisition of Vidacare
LLC, which introduces the EZ-IO System into the product portfolio. A few
of the Rescue Airway Solutions, Vascular Access Solutions and Intranasal
Atomization Drug Delivery Solutions that will be showcased at the show
are as follows:
-
LMA Supreme® Next Generation EMS Airway
When
a patent airway can mean the difference between life and death, choose
the LMA Supreme Airway from Teleflex. The leading single-use, gastric
access laryngeal mask airway with a built-in drain tube, the LMA
Supreme Airway is the airway of choice. You can depend on the LMA
Supreme Airway to fit properly and ventilate sufficiently due to its
superior design and proven track record. It is simply our most
advanced airway device for your EMS airway needs.
-
Arrow® EZ-IO®
Intraosseous Vascular Access System
Teleflex will introduce
the EZ-IO System under the Arrow Brand Portfolio. The EZ-IO Vascular
Access System is a complete solution for rapid vascular access –
whether you’re facing difficult vascular access challenges or need
fast intraosseous access for critical situations and life-threatening
emergencies. This system is designed to provide the medical
professional rapid vascular access to the central circulation within
seconds, delivering medications, intravenous fluids and blood products
to adult and pediatric patients alike.

LMA® MAD Nasal™ Intranasal Mucosal
Atomization Device

the MAD Nasal Atomization Device can come to the rescue with safe,
painless and rapidly effective delivery of treatment. No shot. No
needle. No risk of needle stick injury.
Teleflex will host a
Rescue Airway Challenge at Teleflex booth 1921, allowing attendees to

allows for the clinical specialist team to conduct hands-on training
for more familiarity with the supraglottic airway.
