WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2016--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical
devices for critical care, urology and surgery, will showcase its
innovative minimally invasive surgery (MIS) instruments at the 2nd
Congress of Society of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders (SEUD) to be
held in Barcelona, Spain on May 12-14, 2016.
During the event, Teleflex will present its percutaneous surgical
solutions, including the Percuvance® and MiniLap® Percutaneous Surgical
Systems as well as its diversified range of Weck® and Pilling Surgical
Instruments.
The Percuvance® System from Teleflex, which has recently received CE
Mark approval, represents a significant advance in minimally invasive
surgery.
Procedures using the Percuvance® System make minimally invasive surgery
even less invasive than traditional laparoscopic procedures through much
smaller incisions resulting in less trauma, leaving nearly unnoticeable
scars. At the same time, surgeons benefit from all the performance and
functionality of traditional laparoscopic instruments but require fewer
trocars.
The basis of the system is a 2.9 mm diameter shaft that, when connected
to an introducer tool tip, can be inserted directly through a small
incision in the skin without an insertion trocar. 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.
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.
The SEUD Congress will feature live surgery using the Percuvance®
System: The session, “Hysterectomy with percutaneous instruments”
will be performed by Dr. Cristiano Rossitto from Italy on Thursday, May
12, 2016, at 09:00 a.m.
