WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 30, 2016-- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical devices for critical care, urology and surgery, is committed to connecting clinicians with technology in a way that improves clinical practice and advances patient outcomes. Teleflex will present its innovative intraosseous vascular access system and products for rescue airway, atomization and intubation needs at the European Society for Emergency Medicine (EuSEM) in Vienna, Austria on October 2-5, 2016.

The main objective of EuSEM is to help and support European countries to implement the specialty of Emergency Medicine. Born as a society of individuals in 1994 from a multidisciplinary group of experts in Emergency Medicine, since 2005, EuSEM has also incorporated national society members. There are currently 33 European national societies of Emergency Medicine.

During the event, Teleflex will showcase its Arrow^® EZ-IO^® Intraosseous Vascular Access System and other products for rescue airway, atomization and intubation needs, and support an industry workshop on Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) entitled “FOAM Rises: Is it clean air or rotten gas?”

The Arrow^® EZ-IO^® Intraosseous Vascular Access System from Teleflex is an innovative and complete solution for rapid vascular access – whether the emergency responder is facing difficult vascular access challenges or the need for fast intraosseous access for critical situations and life-threatening emergencies. This system is designed to provide the medical professional vascular access to the central circulation system within seconds¹, delivering medications, intravenous fluids and blood products to adult and pediatric patients alike.

During EuSEM, Teleflex will also focus on the new LMA^® Protector™ Laryngeal Mask Airway. The LMA^® Protector™ Airway represents a new chapter in Teleflex’s search for the optimum subglottic airway. With a fully silicone construction, Cuff Pilot™ Technology, dual gastric channels and the ability to intubate, the LMA^® Protector™ Airway is the most advanced second generation airway from Teleflex.

When IV drug delivery is problematic, the LMA^® MAD Nasal™ Device² from Teleflex can come to the rescue delivering safe, painless and rapidly effective treatment. No needle. No trauma. No risk of needle stick injury. In addition, Teleflex will introduce a range of laryngoscopes featuring the TruLite Secure™ Single-Use Laryngoscope blade and handle, complementing our existing Anaesthesia portfolio to offer complete airway solutions.

The Teleflex Clinical & Medical Affairs team will also be supporting a lecture held by Dr. Roger Harris, a senior staff specialist in the intensive care unit at the Royal North Shore Hospital and the Sydney Adventist Hospital (SAN). He is dual qualified in Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care and will present a lecture entitled “FOAM Rises: Is it clean air or rotten gas?” discussing the latest Free Open Access Medical Educational models and trends. The lecture will be held on Monday, October 3, 12:55 - 13:55 in the Forum/Room D. The Teleflex Clinical & Medical Affairs team is dedicated to ensuring the safe and appropriate use of Teleflex products and using innovative educational programs to advance clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.
