Business Wire
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.
