Business Wire
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical technologies for critical care and surgery, has announced
its Anesthesia Division has signed two new group purchasing
agreements with HealthTrust, one for laryngeal mask airways and the
other for pain management solutions.
The new agreement for laryngeal mask airways, which became
effective March 15, 2016, provides HealthTrust’s 1,400 plus member
hospitals with access to Teleflex’s wide range of single-use and
reusable LMA® Airways. LMA® Airway Management solutions from
Teleflex support the use of advanced anesthesia techniques to help
clinicians improve patient outcomes and manage healthcare costs.
The LMA® brand offers a range of innovative airway management
devices, including Cuff Pilot™ Technology, a cuff pressure
indicator for single-use airway management devices. This technology
enables clinicians to confirm that the inserted cuff is properly
inflated and to monitor pressure levels, reducing the risk of
airway leaks and trauma.
The second new agreement, effective May 1, 2016, will offer a
full line of Arrow® Regional Anesthesia products, including
continuous nerve block kits and sets, epidural catheters and kits,
peripheral nerve block needles and pain management accessories. The
Arrow® Pain Management portfolio from Teleflex includes products
designed to improve patients’ post-operative pain experience.
“Teleflex is pleased to offer such an extensive line of products
to the HealthTrust membership,” said Justin McMurray, President,
Anesthesia and Emergency Medicine, Teleflex. “Agreements like these
demonstrate our commitment to working with all parties in the
healthcare system to expand access to technology that helps
clinicians improve outcomes while reducing healthcare costs.”
