Teleflex (TFX) Gets FDA 510(k) Approval for Arrow Midline
Read MoreHide Full Article
Based in Wayne, PA, Teleflex Inc. (TFX - Free Report) recently announced the receipt of 510(k) approval from the U.S. FDA for its Arrow Midline with Chlorag+ard Technology. Notably, it is a peripheral venous catheter that minimizes the common midline catheter complications for a minimum of 30 days.
Arrow Midline is antithrombogenic and antimicrobial in nature and deals with issues like catheter intraluminal occlusion, thrombus accumulation and microbial colonization on the catheter surfaces. Notably, the Arrow Midline features ‘Chlorag+ard’, which is a multi-protection technology that bonds chlorhexidine to both the internal and external catheter surfaces ensuring Luminal protection.
Teleflex has been gaining market traction of late, courtesy of its investments in the electrophysiology space. However, coming to the latest development, an overview of the global market for peripheral intravenous catheters reveals that the market is forecasted to reach a value of $5,224.7 million, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% by 2021 (Persistence Market Reseach). Buoyed by this trend, we expect Teleflex to gain more ground over the long haul.
Recently, the company also received FDA clearances for its Arrow JACC and TightTrack tunneler. The Arrow JACC is a central venous catheter which provides protection against catheter occlusion, phlebitis and intimal hyperplasia.
Per management, the new technology ensures rapid delivery of care and is highly helpful for physicians who face a ‘multitude of vascular access challenges’. Coming to the company’s stock price, it dropped a nominal 0.08% to close at $168.68 following the news.
