Optimised therapy even in
the most challenging patient conditions
When already-compromised patients develop arrhythmias or tachycardia, the AC3 Optimus IABP is at its best. Its ability to
deliver accurate and safe timing means patients who were not previously considered candidates can benefit from IABP therapy.
Teleflex is a global provider of medical technologies designed to improve the health and quality of people’s lives.
Proprietary algorithms We apply purpose driven innovation – a relentless pursuit of identifying unmet clinical needs – to benefit patients and
healthcare providers. Our portfolio is diverse, with solutions in the fields of vascular and interventional access, surgical,
