Medical devices maker Teleflex Inc. (TFX) said Tuesday that it has acquired the assets of Ultimate Medical and its affiliates.
Ultimate Medical is a supplier and innovator of airway management devices with a portfolio of patented products and a full range of laryngeal mask airways.
Ultimate Medical developed the Cuff Pilot, the world's first integrated cuff pressure indicator for single-use airway management devices. The novel technology is a single-use device and it provides constant inside-the-cuff pressure indication, allowing for at-a-glance clinical assessments.
The Cuff Pilot technology is currently used with Ultimate Medical's portfolio of laryngeal masks and has potential application for use with Teleflex's market leading brand of LMA laryngeal masks.
Teleflex has had a development partnership with Ultimate Medical since April 2010 related to the integration of cuff pressure technology into some products and currently distributes Ultimate's portfolio of laryngeal masks in select international markets.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
