Company features new online clinical education platform, hosts several symposia on vascular access technology

Teleflex, AVA 2016 Congress, Association for Vascular Access

September 20, 2016 — Teleflex Inc. recently displayed its vascular access technologies and a new educational platform focused on the rise of the vascular access specialist at the 30th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Association for Vascular Access (AVA). The meeting was held Sept. 16-19 in Orlando, Fla.

Teleflex unveiled the Teleflex Academy, a new online clinical education platform. The booth educational experience for the Teleflex Academy at this year’s AVA focused on every aspect of vascular access. Teleflex believes that quality education is the first step in fostering the expansion of skills and helping to shape clinical practice.

Teleflex also launched the Arrow Midline with Chlorag+ard Technology, adding to the family of antithrombogenic and antimicrobial protected catheters.

The company offered its popular Vascular Access Procedural Cadaver Lab onsite, training on many different vascular access procedures. There were also clinical education activities at its booth, where models were used to demonstrate the full range of the company’s vascular access devices.

At the breakfast symposium, “Rising to the Challenge: How Vascular Access Specialists Started Placing CVCs,” attendees were educated on the importance of the evolution of the vascular access specialist. This course highlighted the experiences of clinicians who have made the journey to expand their roles to place central venous catheters, and described the clinical process and materials needed to develop a vascular access team.

The platinum showcase symposium, “Locking the Lumen…Consider the Solutions!” reviewed why given today’s medical reimbursement risks, facilities must explore all opportunities to reduce potential vascular access complications. Locking solutions could provide an additional layer of protection when used in conjunction with proven protected catheter technology. The presentation addressed catheter colonization, intraluminal colonization, and how locking solutions and protected catheters address these.

The dinner symposium, “Strategy or Risk: the Use of Midline Catheters”, focused on the recent popularity of Midline catheters, the role of a Midline, and how technology could be the key to ensuring Midline success.
