Teleflex Introduces CleanSweep™ Technology at AARC Congress 2017
October 03 2017 - 5:00PM
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 70th
Anniversary of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC)
Congress, October 4-7, 2017 in Indianapolis.
At the congress, Teleflex will be introducing the CleanSweep™
Closed Suction System (CSS), an innovative closed suction catheter
designed to remain in-line for up to 72 hours. Unlike standard
closed suction catheters, the CleanSweep™ System provides enhanced
secretion removal through a dual operation of balloon sweeping
technology with suction collection.
In addition, Teleflex will be highlighting its turnkey solution
for High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy (HFNCT), a new standard of care
for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. HFNCT has
grown in usage 20% year over year1 and studies published in The New
England Journal of Medicine suggest treatment with HFNCT, compared
to non-invasive ventilation or standard oxygen masks, can improve
survival rates among patients with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory
Failure.2
“Teleflex is committed to providing progressive technologies
that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said James
Ferguson, President of the Teleflex Respiratory Division. “The
introduction of the CleanSweep™ System highlights our dedication to
connecting clinicians with technology in a way that improves
clinical practice and advances patient outcomes.”
Finally, in recognition of recent tragic events like Hurricane
Harvey, Irma, and Maria, Teleflex will be partnering with the AARC
to raise awareness for the AARC Disaster Relief Fund. This fund
helps support individuals and families impacted by a state or
federal disaster. With Congress participation, Teleflex will be
donating up to $25,000 to the AARC Disaster Relief Fund. Teleflex
is proud to invite AARC Congress attendees to stop by Teleflex
booth #609 to show their support for this important cause.
