September 15 2015 - 5:00PM
Business Wire
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical technologies for critical care and surgery, is committed to
connecting clinicians with technology in a way that improves
clinical practice and advances patient outcomes. Teleflex will
showcase its broad portfolio of products for the field of emergency
medicine at the EMS World Expo Conference, Sept. 15-19, in Las
Vegas, including products for the emergency airway, as well as
solutions for difficult vascular access and intranasal drug
delivery.
“Teleflex is dedicated to providing innovative technology to
meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Justin McMurray,
President of the Teleflex Anesthesia Division. “We will use our
time at the EMS World Expo to highlight our commitment to the field
of emergency medicine and the Teleflex mission to help improve the
health and quality of people's lives.”
The Rusch® Airtraq™ Avant™ Video Laryngoscope System from
Teleflex, now available to the EMS market, is an ideal airway
device for the emergency responder. The patented design improves
visibility for intubating in the field, where patient positioning
and airway quality is a common challenge. The Airtraq™ Avant™
System provides a low cost-per-use option with single-use
disposable blades, making acquisition of a video ready system
affordable. Simple-to-use and easy-to-learn, the Avant™ Video
Camera features a rotating screen, recording capability, and
multiple display options, including viewing via a smart phone
(camera and adapter sold separately).
Also from Teleflex is the Rusch® TruLite™ Laryngoscope, a
one-piece blade and handle system designed to perform under the
toughest field conditions. The one-piece design of the TruLite™
Laryngoscope minimizes the risk of component incompatibility in
emergency situations and offers configurations that make it simple
to choose the right blade for rapid intubation.
Teleflex will also be highlighting the LMA Supreme® Airway, a
laryngeal mask that is a safe, effective option for establishing an
emergency airway. Featuring a built-in drain tube to channel
gastric secretions away from the airway, the LMA Supreme® Airway is
an ideal choice for patients undergoing certain procedures
requiring mechanical ventilation in the field.
Featured prominently at the EMS World Expo Conference will be
the Arrow® EZ-IO® Intraosseous Vascular Access System from
Teleflex. The EZ-IO® System is a 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 rapid vascular access to the central circulation
within seconds1, delivering medications, intravenous fluids and
blood products to adult and pediatric patients alike.
Another featured product will be the LMA® MAD Nasal™ Intranasal
Mucosal Atomization Device from Teleflex. When IV drug delivery is
less than ideal the LMA® MAD Nasal™ Device2 can come to the rescue
delivering safe, painless and rapidly effective treatment. No shot.
No needle. No risks of needle stick injury.
Teleflex will also be hosting ‘How Will You Respond?’ practice
and play in-booth scenarios. Participants will be challenged to
react and respond to real life emergency scenarios while exchanging
ideas, sharing clinical expertise, and getting hands on experience
with the emergency medicine products offered by Teleflex.
