WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 8, 2014--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care and surgery, will showcase a number of
urological products for customers in the hospital and home care markets
at the European Association of Urology’s (“EAU”) 29th Annual Congress to
be held in Stockholm, Sweden on April 11-15, 2014. During the event, the
Company will highlight its irrigation system for ureterorenoscopy, which
is a unique, comfortable, highly efficient and cost-effective device,
that ideally complements our Rüsch® stone extraction instruments in
order to facilitate diagnostics and uretero-renoscopic treatment of
calculi in the upper urinary tract.
The very sensitive, hands-free irrigation system provides optimal
pressure and flow control during both rigid and flexible
ureterorenoscopy. It consists of a robust foot pedal and a sterile
single use disposable irrigation set. The simple connection of the
irrigation set to the foot pedal and fluid supply provides the urologist
with a very sensitive system capable of producing a continuously
variable and controllable range of pressures.
Apart from this, Teleflex will also highlight two novel intermittent
catheter concepts. To fit modern women’s lifestyles Teleflex has
developed the Liquick Pure® catheter, a new female catheter which is
discreet, easy and convenient to use. Its handy packaging is not only
functional. It also features a cosmetic look and feel. The SafetyCat
Active® catheter is an innovative catheter system especially suited for
active people. Providing a ready-to-use, pre-coated safety catheter in a
convenient protective sheath it allows for greater freedom, mobility and
maximum comfort. The SafetyCat Active catheter in its modern packaging
is available for women, men and children.
The product portfolio Teleflex will present during the EAU includes
other bladder management products and products for endourology. It is
complemented by a range of surgical products.
