Innovation with a Purpose: Advancing Practice
in Critical Care and Surgery
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global
provider of medical devices for critical care and surgery, will be
featuring medical technology designed to improve patient outcomes
and reduce healthcare costs at the ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2014
annual meeting, October 11-15th in New Orleans.
“Over the past several years, Teleflex has united trusted
brands, products and technologies with a shared purpose to solve
unmet clinical needs,” said Justin McMurray, President and General
Manager, Anesthesia and Respiratory Division, Teleflex. “We look
forward to using this annual meeting to share with the entire
anesthesiology community the value of choosing Teleflex as a
preferred partner.”
At the meeting, Teleflex will highlight the Arrow® EZ-IO®
Intraosseous Vascular Access System, which provides rapid vascular
access to deliver critical fluids to the heart.1 Teleflex recently
announced FDA 510(k) clearance for restated Indications for Use of
the EZ-IO® Vascular Access System. The EZ-IO® 25 mm Needle Set is
now indicated for patients 3 kg or over.
The new ISO-Gard® Mask with ClearAir™ Technology will also be
featured at the meeting. A recent study published in the Journal of
PeriAnesthesia Nursing (JOPAN) documented occupational exposure to
waste anesthetic gases (WAG) in the post-anesthesia care unit
(PACU) may be higher than standards recommend. The study evaluated
and demonstrated that clinicians are exposed to significantly less
WAG when patients wear the ISO-Gard® Mask with ClearAir™ Technology
from Teleflex, versus a standard cannula or face tent.2
The LMA Supreme® Supraglottic Airway will also be featured at
the meeting. This advanced LMA® Airway, with its unique Second
Seal™ Technology, provides a higher degree of safety in routine
cases, and makes it possible to extend laryngeal mask airway use to
more challenging cases.
Teleflex will also be highlighting the 125 year partnership
between the Rusch® Brand and clinicians to develop laryngoscopes
that help make intubation as simple, convenient, and safe as
possible. The new Rusch® DispoLED® Laryngoscope Handle will be a
featured product at the meeting. This product joins an already
extensive line of disposable laryngoscopes handles and blades,
including Green Rusch Lite™ Laryngoscope Blades, each offering the
performance of reusable products, while reducing the risk for cross
contamination.
Teleflex is an Industry Supporter of the American Society of
Anesthesiologists and will be hosting a Lifebox® Photo Challenge at
the Teleflex booth #1619, with proceeds benefiting the Lifebox
Foundation, a charity of the ASA® Charitable Foundation.
