Teleflex Signs New Agreement with Amerinet for Manual Ligation Products
July 23 2014 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
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.”
