Business Wire
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical technologies for critical care and surgery has announced
that its respiratory division has signed a new group purchasing
agreement with HealthTrust. The Respiratory Heaters &
Accessories agreement (HPG-6071) which became effective December 1,
2017, covers Teleflex’s full line of Active Humidification, Non
Invasive Ventilation (NIV), and High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy
(HFNCT) products.
The new agreement provides HealthTrust’s more than 400 member
hospitals with access to Teleflex’s wide range of humidification
products, including the Hudson RCI® Neptune® Heated Humidifier with
ConchaSmartTM Technology and ISO-Gard® Heated Wire Circuit
Technology, and the recent introduction of Comfort Flo® Plus High
Flow Nasal Cannula. HFNCT has been growing at a rate of 20% year on
year. This important therapy has been shown to improve patient
outcomes and reduce 90-day mortality rates compared to NIV and
Standard Oxygen Therapy.1
This contract complements the existing General Respiratory
Agreement (HPG-184). Unique to Teleflex, these two contracts
provide HPG members an opportunity to consolidate their respiratory
purchases with one supplier.
“Teleflex is pleased to offer such an extensive line of
humidification and respiratory products to the HealthTrust
membership,” said James Ferguson, President Respiratory and Latin
America, Teleflex. “Teleflex is well positioned to offer a full
suite of respiratory solutions to the clinical community
demonstrating our commitment to expand access to technology that
helps clinicians improve outcomes while reducing overall healthcare
costs.”
