WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 19, 2015--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care, urology and surgery, will showcase a number
of urological and surgical products for customers in the hospital and
home care markets at the European Association of Urology's ("EAU") 30th
Annual Congress to be held in Madrid, Spain on March 20-24, 2015.
Teleflex will highlight its new hydrophilic coated flexible and stiff
nitinol guidewires which are suitable for a wide range of urological
applications. The guidewires' three layers - nitinol core with a black
hydrophilic coated polyurethane jacket - enable precise handling during
treatment, provide high visibility in dark endoscopy rooms and during
x-ray images and facilitate application even when faced with narrow
passages. Our comprehensive range offers nitinol guidewires with
straight or angled tip, in 2 different lengths and 3 sizes.
Furthermore, Teleflex will present its irrigation system for
ureterorenoscopy, which is a unique, comfortable, highly efficient and
cost-effective device that ideally complements our Rusch® stone
extraction instruments in order to facilitate diagnostics and
ureterorenoscopic treatment of calculi in the upper urinary tract. The
sensitive, hands-free irrigation system provides optimal pressure and
flow control during both rigid and flexible ureterorenoscopy.
Apart from this, Teleflex will also focus on two 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, precoated 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.
