Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical devices for critical care, urology and surgery, will showcase its comprehensive surgical portfolio at the 1st Congress of Society of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders (SEUD) to be held in Paris, France on May 7 - 9, 2015.

During the event, Teleflex will present its diversified range of Weck® brand surgical instruments as well as Teleflex’s percutaneous surgical solutions which includes the Percuvance™ and MiniLap® Percutaneous Surgical Systems.

The Percuvance™ System has recently received FDA clearance and CE Mark approval and represents a significant advance in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The basis of the system is a less than 3 mm diameter shaft that, when connected to an introducer tool tip, can be inserted percutaneously through the skin. The introducer tool tip can then be exchanged outside the body for a wide variety of 5 mm interchangeable surgical tool tips. The shaft is sufficiently strong to hold structures, and surgeons can use its interchangeable tool tips to grasp, cut and manipulate tissue.

In addition, procedures using the Percuvance™ System require fewer trocars and cause less trauma for the patient.

MiniLap® instruments, with their slim 2.3 mm shaft diameters, can be percutaneously inserted using an integrated needle tip. The grasper jaws or probe can then be deployed to grasp or coagulate tissue. The patented deployment design allows grasper jaws to open up to 12.5 mm to grasp difficult structures, like distended gall bladders.

Teleflex offers minimally invasive surgeons a full line of Weck® Access Devices, including the Weck Vista® Access portfolio, providing confidence, clarity and control during general and advanced laparoscopic procedures. The asymmetrically dilating Weck Vista® Optical Trocar features excellent light transmission through its transparent tip that enables clear visualization of tissue layers during entry. It incorporates ridges on the cannula providing excellent port stability particularly throughout extended procedures.

The innovative design of the Weck EFx® Endo Fascial Closure System provides key benefits for the surgeon and patient including a special design for port closure and enables reproducible fascial closure in varying body types with a controlled suture delivery.

During the congress a Satellite Session is scheduled. The symposium entitled “Understanding Deep Endometriosis from Diagnosis to Innovative Treatment”, will be presented by Dr. Kevin Stepp from the Carolinas HealthCare System at Mercy Hospital, North Carolina, USA on Friday, May 8, at 14:45 - 16:15h in the Forum A-B-C Room.
