| Teleflex Medical recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of its Pleur-evac chest drainage product by unveiling [at NTI Atlanta] its baby sister--the new MINI Sahara, a smaller, more portable version of its Sahara unit. While chest drainage devices have been Atrium's top seller since 1985, the company also produces and sells interventional cardiology devices, vascular implants and devices used in general surgery. Secondary end points were number of days with chest drainage, total hospital stay, failure rate of assigned treatment, adverse events, CXR changes at 6 mo after intervention, and total costs of each treatment modality. |
