WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 2016--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
technologies for critical care and surgery, will showcase its broad
portfolio of products for Respiratory Care at the American Association
for Respiratory Care (AARC) Congress 2016, October 15-18, in San
Antonio, TX. During the event, Teleflex will highlight solutions for
Mechanical Ventilation, High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy, as well as
solutions for Arterial Access.
At the Congress, Teleflex will be highlighting the Hudson RCI®
Comfort Flo® Plus Cannula, the Hudson RCI® Neptune®
Heated Humidifier with ConchaSmartTM Technology and
recent portfolio additions from Maxtec®, a leader in oxygen
analysis and delivery products for more than 15 years. With these Maxtec
additions, Teleflex offers respiratory care professionals a turn-key
solution for heated high flow nasal cannula therapy (HFNCT), a new
standard of care for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
HFNCT has been shown to improve survival rates in these patients
compared to standard Oxygen Masks or Non-Invasive Ventilation.1
“Teleflex is committed to providing advanced solutions to meet the
evolving needs of the respiratory care professional,” said James
Ferguson, President of Teleflex, Respiratory Division. “We are proud to
be an AARC corporate partner and we are dedicated to enhancing the
quality of patients’ lives by improving outcomes through clinical
education and technology advancements for respiratory care.”
As respiratory therapists’ scope of practice continues to expand and the
placement of arterial catheters is becoming more commonplace in this
field, Teleflex will also be highlighting Arrow® Arterial
Catheters. The Arrow® Brand leads the market2 with
a comprehensive product line of arterial catheters and CDC compliant
kits. On Friday, October 14, there will be a preconference educational
session titled “Arterial Fundamentals: Ultrasound Guided Arterial
Catheter Insertion.” The four-hour simulation course will review
best practices for arterial catheter insertion and knowledge of
prevention, recognition and management of insertion-related
complications from arterial catheters. Teleflex is proud to support the
expanded role of the respiratory therapist to include arterial catheter
insertion.
Teleflex is honored to invite AARC Congress attendees to stop by
Teleflex booth #623 in support of the American Respiratory Care
Foundation (ARCF). Teleflex will be donating up to $30,000 to ARCF for
AARC Congress attendee in-booth participation, further demonstrating our
commitment to connecting clinicians with education in a way that helps
improve patient outcomes and advances respiratory care throughout the
world.
