Teleflex Medical Expands Taut ADAPt Product Line With Introduction of New Universal Seal Ports
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--Teleflex Medical has announced the release of three Taut® ADAPt® universal seal ports. The new ADAPt (Asymmetrical Dilating Access Port) products include universal seals and maintain a completely bladeless tip design. ADAPt products are used in laparoscopic surgery specifically focused in general, gynecology, thoracic and abdominal surgery.Taut ADAPt ports with the universal seal provide surgeons the ability to perform laparoscopic procedures without torn seals, smudged cameras or the need for reducer caps. When combined with the ADAPt tip, the universal seal gives clinicians completely bladeless access, a sealing system and economic advantage. ADAPt ports provide a tip that passes through tissue by separating and not cutting, avoiding bladed injury and leaving a 58% smaller defect than the most commonly used bladed trocars.*
“With this release, Teleflex Medical now offers a full line of completely bladeless laparoscopic access for our customers in North America and Europe,” said Ernest Waaser, President, Teleflex Medical. “The addition of the universal seal strengthens our place in the market and highlights our commitment to providing products that are less invasive and focused on patient and provider safety.”
