Teleflex Incorporated headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, is a provider of specialty medical devices for a range of procedures in critical care and surgery. Teleflex has annual revenues of $1.7 billion, operations in 40 countries, and more than 11,000 employees.[2] As of 2012, the chairman and CEO of the company was Benson F. Smith.[1] By 2011, the company had substantially realigned to focus on its current business of medical-device manufacture, having undergone several years of active acquisitions and divestitures.[1]

History

In March 2009, Teleflex sold its marine and industrial instrumentation (gauge) business to Veethree, and planned to exit its Lakewood Ranch, Florida facility.[3] Veethree subsequently continued production of former Teleflex products at its Manatee County, Florida facility and hired approximately 50 workers from Teleflex.[3]

In March 2011, Teleflex sold its marine division, Teleflex Marine, to H.I.G. Capital. [4]

In August 2012, Teleflex substantively finalized an agreement to acquire all assets of the medical device maker LMA International, thereby expanding the company's anesthesia device franchise.[5]

Patent case

It was a party in the KSR v. Teleflex patent case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States concerning the issue of obviousness as applied to patent claims.
