WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 22, 2015--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care, urology and surgery, has announced that it
will showcase its MiniLap® Percutaneous Surgical System, a range of 2.3
mm instruments percutaneously inserted, during the Scientific and Annual
Meeting of European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) to be held in
Dublin, Ireland on September 23-25, 2015.
During the event, Teleflex will present its MiniLap® Percutaneous
Surgical System as well as a diversified range of its Weck® Laparoscopic
Instruments.
MiniLap® Instruments, with shaft diameters as slim as 2.3 mm, can be
percutaneously inserted using an integrated needle tip. The grasper jaws
or probe can then be deployed to grasp or coagulate tissue. The patented
deployment design allows grasper jaws to open up to 12.5 mm to grasp
difficult structures, like distended gall bladders. Procedures using the
MiniLap® Instruments require fewer trocars and cause less trauma to the
patient than traditional laparoscopic procedures.
Teleflex offers minimally invasive surgeons a full line of Weck® Access
Devices, providing confidence, clarity and control during general and
advanced laparoscopic procedures. The asymmetrically dilating Weck
Vista® Optical Trocar features excellent light transmission through its
transparent tip that enables clear visualization of tissue layers during
entry. It incorporates ridges on the cannula providing excellent port
stability particularly throughout extended procedures.
Teleflex’s newest addition – the Weck® EFx Shield® Fascial Closure
System – is the only shielded port closure device, providing enhanced
sharps protection for safe, uniform, and consistent fascial closure.
