Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical devices for critical care and surgery, has announced a new group purchasing agreement with Amerinet covering Teleflex Incorporated’s Weck® Brand of Ligation Products. The agreement began July 1, 2014 and extends through July 31, 2016.

For nearly 50 years, surgeons have relied on Weck Ligation Clips from Teleflex. The ligating clip and applier combination is a system designed to work together, with the applier specifically and meticulously designed to apply a specific clip in a precise manner to provide secure, reliable ligation of vessels in critical surgeries. Weck Metal Ligating Clips are made with heart-shaped wire and engineered to give each clip a firm grip on blood vessels. The pre-formed clip allows for precise tip-to-tip closure to fully engulf the vessel.

The Hem-o-lok® Polymer Locking Ligation System is designed to give surgeons confidence in clip security — secure in the applier, and locked on to the patient vessel. The unique polymer locking clip provides the assurance of secure “cold” ligation during critical nerve sparing prostatectomy procedures.

“Teleflex’s Surgical team has a long history of working closely with physicians to develop products that help to improve patient outcomes and enhance procedural efficiencies,” said John Tushar, President and General Manager, Surgical Division. “We’re pleased to provide Amerinet members the clinical and financial benefits of the complete Manual Ligation product line.”
