Teleflex Incorporated

Teleflex Incorporated is an American global provider of specialty medical technologies dedicated to improving the health and quality of people's lives. The company applies purpose-driven innovation to empower healthcare professionals and is headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania.

Teleflex designs, develops, manufactures, and supplies a diverse portfolio of single-use medical devices for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in critical care and surgical applications. Its product offerings span vascular and interventional access, surgical, anesthesia, cardiac care, urology, emergency medicine, and respiratory care, featuring brands such as Arrow, LMA, Pilling, QuikClot, Rüsch, UroLift, and Weck.

In a significant strategic move, Teleflex announced the sale of its Acute Care, Interventional Urology, and OEM businesses for $2.03 billion, with transactions expected to close in the second half of 2026. This divestiture aims to establish Teleflex as a more focused medical technologies leader, concentrating on its core critical care and high acuity hospital markets, particularly in vascular access, interventional, and surgical segments. Effective June 8, 2026, Jason Weidman has been appointed as the new President and CEO.
