WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 11, 2016--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care, urology and surgery, will showcase its
expertise in urological and surgical solutions for hospital and home
care at the European Association of Urology’s (“EAU”) 31st Annual
Congress to be held in Munich, Germany on March 11-15, 2016.
A pioneer in urology products, Teleflex will present its large Rüsch®
and Home Care product portfolios during the event.
Important advancements in this therapeutic area reflect the continuous
customer focus and inventive spirit of Teleflex. Examples of major
milestones are the ProfilCath balloon catheter, which has longitudinal
grooves for better drainage of urethral secretion and reduced
encrustation risk, the Ergothan tip, which facilitates a gentle
insertion of intermittent catheters, and the world's first DD ureteral
stents (directable and disconnectable).
Further innovations include the Irrigation System for ureterorenoscopy,
which allows for a completely hands-free and sensitive irrigation of the
upper urinary tract, and the Liquick Pure® and the SafetyCat
Active® Intermittent Catheters. These landmark products as
well as varieties of each product available from the Rüsch®
product portfolio provide the individual care that users and patients
expect and deserve.
“Rüsch® products from Teleflex have been at the forefront of
the urology field for more than 130 years, and our mission continues to
focus on providing patients with solutions that improve the health and
quality of people’s lives,” says Marek Hojczyk, Senior Director Global
Marketing Urology at Teleflex.
The urology portfolio is complemented by surgical products (trocars and
closure systems for laparoscopic surgery, metal and polymer ligation
systems, retrieval bags, and a percutaneous minimally-invasive surgical
system). The innovative MiniLap® Percutaneous Surgical System
with its slim 2.3 mm shaft diameter can be percutaneously inserted
directly through the skin, helping to reduce the number of trocars
needed in a procedure and reduce trauma for the patient.
