WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2015--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care, urology and surgery, will showcase its
comprehensive surgical portfolio at the 1st Congress of Society of
Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders (SEUD) to be held in Paris, France
on May 7 - 9, 2015.
During the event, Teleflex will present its diversified range of Weck®
brand surgical instruments as well as Teleflex’s percutaneous surgical
solutions which includes the Percuvance™ and MiniLap® Percutaneous
Surgical Systems.
The Percuvance™ System has recently received FDA clearance and CE Mark
approval and represents a significant advance in minimally invasive
surgery (MIS). The basis of the system is a less than 3 mm diameter
shaft that, when connected to an introducer tool tip, can be inserted
percutaneously through the skin. The introducer tool tip can then be
exchanged outside the body for a wide variety of 5 mm interchangeable
surgical tool tips. The shaft is sufficiently strong to hold structures,
and surgeons can use its interchangeable tool tips to grasp, cut and
manipulate tissue.
In addition, procedures using the Percuvance™ System require fewer
trocars and cause less trauma for the patient.
MiniLap® instruments, with their slim 2.3 mm shaft diameters, 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.
Teleflex offers minimally invasive surgeons a full line of Weck® Access
Devices, including the Weck Vista® Access portfolio, 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.
The innovative design of the Weck EFx® Endo Fascial Closure System
provides key benefits for the surgeon and patient including a special
design for port closure and enables reproducible fascial closure in
varying body types with a controlled suture delivery.
During the congress a Satellite Session is scheduled. The symposium
entitled “Understanding Deep Endometriosis from Diagnosis to Innovative
Treatment”, will be presented by Dr. Kevin Stepp from the Carolinas
HealthCare System at Mercy Hospital, North Carolina, USA on Friday, May
8, at 14:45 - 16:15h in the Forum A-B-C Room.
