NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in our annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2011 (the “Form 8-K”). The consolidated financial statements included in the Form 8-K update and supersede the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 to report the Company’s former marine business, which the Company sold on March 22, 2011, and the Company’s cargo container business, for which the Company approved a plan of sale, as discontinued operations. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K, management approved a plan to sell the cargo systems business, which has been presented as a discontinued operation in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s information to conform with current year presentation. The Company identified $0.5 million, after taxes, of environmental costs related to discontinued operations that were erroneously reported in continuing operations during the first and second quarters of 2011. The Company has classified these environmental costs as income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 25, 2011. The Company will revise the statements of income for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 in future filings to report these environmental costs in income from discontinued operations for the respective periods. Management has determined that the impact of this error was not material on a quantitative or qualitative basis to the financial statements for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2011.

As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Teleflex” and the “Company” mean Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.

Note 2 — New accounting standards

The Company adopted the following new accounting standards as of January 1, 2011, the first day of its 2011 fiscal year:

Amendment to Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised the criteria for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements by establishing new guidance on how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. Additionally, the guidance required companies to expand their disclosures regarding multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The amendment did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The Company will adopt the following new accounting standards as of January 1, 2012, the first day of its 2012 fiscal year:

Amendment to Fair Value Measurement: In May 2011, the FASB revised the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements so that the requirements under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) are the same. The guidance clarifies the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and requires enhanced disclosures, most significantly related to unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The guidance is effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

TELEFLEX INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Amendment to Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB amended guidance relating to the presentation requirements of comprehensive income within an entity’s financial statements. Under the guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amended guidance eliminates the previously available option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity. In addition, an entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied retrospectively.

Amendment to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: In September 2011, the FASB revised its requirements related to an entity’s approach in performing a goodwill impairment test. Under the new amendment, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

On January 10, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of VasoNova Inc. (“VasoNova”), a developer of central venous catheter navigation technology that allows for real-time confirmation of the placement of peripherally inserted central catheters and central venous catheters. The acquisition of VasoNova complements the vascular access product line in the Company’s Critical Care division. In connection with the acquisition, the Company made an initial payment to the former VasoNova security holders of $24.9 million and agreed to make additional payments of between $15.0 million and $30.0 million. The minimum $15.0 million of additional consideration is payable in three separate installments at specified dates or, if earlier, upon receipt of specified regulatory approvals with respect to the first two installments and achievement of specified sales targets with respect to the third installment. Payment of the remaining $15 million is contingent upon the achievement specified sales targets within three years after closing. In March 2011, $6.0 million of the minimum additional consideration was paid to the former VasoNova security holders upon receipt of 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with respect to an expanded use of VasoNova’s VPS peripherally inserted central catheter tip location technology.

The fair value of the consideration at the date of acquisition was $40.3 million, which included the initial payment of $24.9 million in cash and the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration to be paid to the former VasoNova security holders of $15.4 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated based on the probability of obtaining the applicable regulatory approvals and achieving the specified sales targets. Any subsequent change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in the statement of income for the period in which it occurs. A change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position for the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

We estimated the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 9, “Fair value measurement”).

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the cost to acquire VasoNova based on the fair values of the net assets acquired as of January 10, 2011:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company finalized the valuation of tangible and intangible assets and the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date with no further adjustments.

Certain assets acquired in the VasoNova acquisition qualify for recognition as intangible assets, apart from goodwill. The estimated fair values of intangible assets acquired include purchased technology of $26.8 million and trade names of $2.8 million. Purchased technology and trade names have useful lives of 15 years and 10 years, respectively. The goodwill resulting from the VasoNova acquisition is primarily due to the expected revenue growth that is attributable to anticipated increased market penetration from future products and customers. Goodwill and the step-up in basis of the intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.

The unaudited pro forma results reflecting the acquisition of VasoNova in prior periods is not materially different from the Company’s financial results as reported.

Note 5 — Other impairment charges

During the nine months ended September 25, 2011, the Company recognized impairment charges of $3.1 million related to the decline in value of its investments in affiliates that are considered to be other than temporary. In making this determination, the Company considered multiple factors, including its intent and ability to hold investments, operating losses of investees that demonstrate an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments, the investee’s liquidity and cash position and market acceptance of the investee’s products and services.

6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 13, 2011, the Company issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes and the guarantees of the Company’s obligations under the Notes were issued under the Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) executed by the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company named as guarantors therein and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Second Supplemental Indenture supplements the Indenture, dated as of August 2, 2010 (the “Base Indenture” and, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2011, at a rate of 6.875% per year. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2019, unless earlier redeemed or purchased by the Company at the holder’s option under specified circumstances following a Change of Control or Asset Sale (each as defined in the Indenture) or upon

the Company’s election to exercise its optional redemption rights, as described below. The Company incurred transaction fees of approximately $3.7 million, including underwriters’ discounts and commissions in connection with the public offering of the Notes. The Company used $125 million of the proceeds to repay term loan borrowings under its senior credit facility and recorded a $0.8 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2011.

The Notes constitute the Company’s general unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Company’s indebtedness under its credit facilities, and will be equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness, including the Company’s 3.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. The obligations under the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor or other obligor under the Company’s credit facilities and by certain of the Company’s other domestic subsidiaries. The guarantees of the Notes will be subordinated in right of payment to all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantors and will be equal in right of payment with all of the future senior subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantors. The Notes and the guarantees will be junior to the existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and will be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

At any time on or after June 1, 2015, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price of 103.438% of the principal amount of the Notes subject to redemption, declining to 100% of the principal amount on June 1, 2017, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2015, the Company may, on one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. The “make-whole” premium is the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Notes subject to redemption or (ii) the excess, if any, over the principal amount of the notes of the present value, on the redemption date, of the sum of (a) the June 1, 2015 optional redemption price, plus (b) all required interest payments on the Notes through June 1, 2015 (other than accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), calculated based on a specified Treasury rate for the period most closely corresponding to the period from the redemption date to June 1, 2015, plus 50 basis points. In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, using the proceeds of certain specified Company equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 106.875% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Prepayment of Senior Notes Issued in 2004

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company prepaid the entire outstanding $165.8 million principal amount of its Senior Notes issued in 2004 (“2004 Notes”). In addition, the Company paid the holders of the 2004 Notes a $13.9 million prepayment make-whole amount and accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recorded the prepayment make-whole amount and a $0.7 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs incurred prior to the prepayment of the 2004 Notes as a loss on extinguishment of debt during the first quarter of 2011. The Company used $150 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility and available cash to fund the prepayment of the 2004 Notes.

Amendments to Credit Facility

In March 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Incremental Agreement”), which supplemented the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lending institutions identified in the Credit Agreement, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Incremental Agreement provided for additional term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million (the “Incremental Term Loans”). The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans were used to repay $80 million of borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility that were borrowed in connection with the prepayment of the 2004 Notes that occurred in March 2011.

In addition, in March 2011, $36.1 million of term loans maturing on October 1, 2012 were converted to term loans with a new maturity date of October 1, 2014. In addition, all of the Company’s $33.7 million of revolving credit facility commitments with a termination date of October 1, 2012 were converted to revolving credit facility commitments with a new termination date of October 1, 2014 (as noted below, all outstanding revolving credit borrowings were repaid with proceeds from the sale of the marine business). In connection with the extension of these maturity dates, the range of the applicable interest rate margins, and the commitment fee rate on unused but committed portions of the revolving credit facility were increased. As described below under “Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings,” the Company incurred transaction fees of approximately $0.3 million in connection with the maturity date extensions, which will be amortized over the extended term of the facility as interest expense.

TELEFLEX INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

As a result of the Incremental Term Loans, the amendment to the Credit Agreement and repayment of $125 million in term borrowings using the proceeds of the offering of its 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company had $375 million of term loans outstanding on September 25, 2011. All of the term loans will mature on October 1, 2014.

The term loans bear interest at an applicable rate elected by the Company equal to either the “base rate” (the greater of either the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate or one month LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.75%, or a “LIBOR rate” for the period corresponding to the applicable interest period of the borrowings plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.75%. The actual amount of the applicable margin will be based on the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). At September 25, 2011, all outstanding term loans were subject to the “LIBOR rate” of 0.25% plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, resulting in an interest rate of 2.50%.

Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company borrowed $165 million under its $400 million revolving credit facility to fund the VasoNova acquisition and the retirement of the 2004 Notes. The borrowings were subsequently repaid with the proceeds from the sale of the marine business (for additional information regarding the sale of the marine business, see Note 16, “Divestiture related activities”) and borrowings under the Incremental Term Loans. As of September 25, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and approximately $3 million in outstanding standby letters of credit issued under its revolving credit facility.

In connection with the extension of term loan maturities that occurred in March 2011, the commitment fee rate on unused but committed portions of the revolving credit facility increased to a range of 0.375% to 0.50%. The actual amount of the commitment fee rate is based on the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). At September 25, 2011, the commitment fee rate was 0.375%.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The carrying amount of long-term debt reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 25, 2011 is $952.3 million. Using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality, and risk profile, the Company has determined the fair value of its debt to be $1,060.3 million at September 25, 2011. The Company’s implied credit rating is a factor in determining the market interest yield curve.

Debt Maturities

As of September 25, 2011, the aggregate amounts of long-term debt and debt under the Company’s securitization program that will mature during the remainder of 2011, during each of the next three fiscal years and thereafter were as follows:

Note 8 — Financial instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments for risk management purposes and does not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculation purposes. Foreign exchange contracts are used to manage foreign currency transaction exposure, and an interest rate swap is used to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. These derivative instruments, whose settlement dates extend through December 2012, are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value. The effective portion of the gains or losses on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

See Note 7, “Borrowings,” for a discussion of the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of overnight investments in money market funds. The funds invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including Treasury bills, bonds and notes. The funds seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of investments in marketable securities held in trust, which are available to pay benefits under certain deferred compensation plans and other compensatory arrangements. The investment assets of the trust are valued using quoted market prices.

The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of two groups, zero coupon Greece government bonds and foreign exchange contracts. The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of an interest rate swap contract and foreign exchange contracts. The Greece government bonds were received in settlement of amounts due to the Company from sales to the public hospital system in Greece for 2007, 2008 and 2009. The bonds mature over three years. The fair value of the bonds is determined based on quoted prices for identical assets. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign currency transaction exposure and the interest rate swap is used to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract is developed from market-based inputs under the income approach using cash flows discounted at relevant market interest rates. The Company has taken into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties in measuring fair value. See Note 8, “Financial instruments” for additional information.

The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 3 inputs are comprised of contingent consideration pertaining to the VasoNova acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined using a weighted probability of potential payment scenarios discounted at rates reflective of the Company’s credit rating and expected return on the VasoNova business. The assumptions used to develop the estimated amount recognized for the contingent consideration arrangement are updated each reporting period. As of September 25, 2011, the Company has recorded approximately $4.0 million of contingent consideration in other current liabilities and the remaining $5.6 million in other liabilities.

Note 10 — Changes in shareholders’ equity

In 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of outstanding Company common stock. Repurchases of Company stock under the Board authorization may be made from time to time in the open market and may include privately-negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant and subject to regulatory considerations. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and the Company’s ability to execute on the program will depend on, among other factors, cash requirements for acquisitions, cash generation from operations, debt repayment obligations, market conditions and regulatory requirements. In addition, under the Company’s senior credit agreements, the Company is subject to certain restrictions relating to its ability to repurchase shares in the event the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio exceeds certain levels, which may limit the Company’s ability to repurchase shares under this Board authorization. Through September 25, 2011, no shares have been purchased under this Board authorization.

The following table provides a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 25, 2011		September 26, 2010		September 25, 2011		September 26, 2010

Diluted		40,943		40,254		40,738		40,269

Weighted average stock options that were anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of earnings per share were approximately 8,785 thousand and 8,866 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, respectively, and approximately 6,717 thousand and 2,820 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2010, respectively.

Note 11 — Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 25, 2011 was 23.9% compared to a negative 231.8% for the three months ended September 26, 2010. The negative effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2010 reflects the tax impact of beneficial discrete charges recorded during the third quarter of 2010 for losses on extinguishment of debt and a $5.7 million out of period tax adjustment associated with tax returns filed and tax audit conclusions, which management determined was not material on a quantitative or qualitative basis to the prior period.

Note 12 — Pension and other postretirement benefits

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The defined benefit pension plans are noncontributory. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. The Company’s funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws and regulations. Obligations under non-U.S. plans are systematically provided for by depositing funds with trustees or by book reserves. In 2008 the Company amended the Teleflex Retirement Income Plan (“TRIP”) to cease future benefit accruals for all employees, other than those subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and amended its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (“SERP”) for all executives to cease future benefit accruals for both employees and executives as of December 31, 2008. The Company replaced the non-qualified defined benefits provided under the SERP with a non-qualified defined contribution arrangement under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, effective January 1, 2009. In addition, in 2008, the Company’s other postretirement benefit plans were amended to eliminate future benefits for employees, other than those subject to a collective bargaining agreement, who had not attained age 50 and whose age plus service was less than 65.

In March 2011, in connection with the Company’s sale of its marine business, approximately $24.4 million of the pension obligations and approximately $7.4 million of other postretirement obligations were assumed by the buyer and approximately $17.7 million of related pension assets were transferred to the buyer. The amounts are subject to further valuation by the buyer. For additional information regarding the sale of the marine business, see Note 16, “Divestiture related activities.”

Note 13 — Commitments and contingent liabilities

Product warranty liability: The Company warrants to the original purchasers of certain of its products that it will, at its option, repair or replace such products, without charge, if they fail due to a manufacturing defect. Warranty periods vary by product. The Company has recourse provisions for certain products that would enable recovery from third parties for amounts paid under the warranty. The Company accrues for product warranties when, based on available information, it is probable that customers will make claims under warranties relating to products that have been sold, and a reasonable estimate of the costs (based on historical claims experience relative to sales) can be made. The following table provides information regarding changes in the Company’s product warranty liability accruals for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

Balance at end of period	$	3,959

Operating leases: The Company uses various leased facilities and equipment in its operations. The terms for these leased assets vary depending on the lease agreement. In connection with these operating leases, the Company had residual value guarantees in the amount of approximately $1.9 million at September 25, 2011. The Company’s future payments under the operating leases cannot exceed the minimum rent obligation plus the residual value guarantee amount. The residual value guarantee amounts are based upon the unamortized lease values of the assets under lease, and are payable by the Company if the Company declines to renew the leases or to exercise its purchase option with respect to the leased assets. At September 25, 2011, the Company had no liabilities recorded for these obligations. Any residual value guarantee amounts paid to the lessor may be recovered by the Company from the sale of the assets to a third party.

Environmental: The Company is subject to contingencies as a result of environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the Company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the Company or other parties. Much of this liability results from the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), often referred to as Superfund, the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and similar state laws. These laws require the Company to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where the Company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was disposed.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. The nature of these activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, the regulatory agencies involved and enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. At September 25, 2011, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet included an accrued liability of approximately $7.6 million relating to these matters. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these costs and, if adverse changes in circumstances occur, the ultimate liability may exceed the amount accrued as of September 25, 2011. The time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based on past history, is estimated to be 15-20 years.

Regulatory matters: On October 11, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, Arrow International, Inc. (“Arrow”), received a corporate warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), expressing concerns with Arrow’s quality systems and advising that Arrow’s corporate-wide program to evaluate, correct and prevent quality system issues had been deficient. The Company developed and implemented a comprehensive plan to correct the issues raised in the letter and further improve overall quality systems. The FDA reinspected the Arrow facilities covered by the corporate warning letter, and in the third quarter of 2010, removed the limitations previously imposed on Arrow with respect to certificates of foreign governments. In June 2011, the Company received formal notification from the FDA that all issues raised by the corporate warning letter have been addressed.

Litigation: The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, employment and environmental matters. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred. See Note 16, “Divestiture-related activities,” for a discussion of the reserves associated with retained liabilities related to businesses that have been divested.

Tax audits and examinations: The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to tax examinations by various taxing authorities. As of September 25, 2011, the most significant tax examinations in process are in Canada, Czech Republic and Germany. In conjunction with these examinations and as a regular and routine practice, the Company may determine a need to establish certain reserves or to adjust existing reserves with respect to uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, developments occurring with respect to these examinations, including resolution of uncertain tax positions, could result in increases or decreases to our recorded tax liabilities, which could impact our financial results.

Other: The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and items of permanent investment incident to the ordinary conduct of business. On average, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.

Note 14 — Business segment information

During the second quarter of 2011, management approved a plan to divest the Company’s cargo systems business, which was part of the Company’s Aerospace Segment. Following the reclassification of the cargo systems business as a discontinued operation, the Company’s continuing operations represent a single segment business, which consists of the design, manufacture and distribution of medical devices.

The Company’s medical businesses design, manufacture and distribute medical devices primarily used in critical care, surgical applications and cardiac care. Additionally, the company designs, manufactures and supplies devices and instruments for other medical device manufacturers. The Company’s products are largely sold and distributed to hospitals and healthcare providers and are most widely used in the acute care setting for a range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and in general and specialty surgical applications.

Note 15 — Condensed consolidated guarantor financial information

As described in Note 7, “Borrowings,” in June 2011, Teleflex Incorporated (referred to below as “Parent Company”) issued $250 million of 6.875% senior subordinated notes through a registered public offering. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Each Guarantor Subsidiary is 100% owned by the Parent Company. The Company’s condensed consolidating statements of income for the three and nine month periods ending September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010, condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 25, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ending September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010, each of which are set forth below, provide consolidating information for:

Parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;

ii.

Guarantor Subsidiaries, on a combined basis;

iii.

Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis; and

iv.

Parent Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements are used by each entity in the condensed consolidating financial information, except for the use by the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation.

Consolidating entries and eliminations in the following consolidating financial statements represent adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the investments in subsidiaries and (c) record consolidating entries.

Discontinued Operations

During 2011, management approved plans to sell the Company’s cargo container business and cargo systems business, reporting units constituting the Company’s Aerospace Segment. On October 21, 2011, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its cargo systems and container aerospace businesses to a subsidiary of AAR CORP. for $280 million. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of 2011. For financial statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of these businesses have been segregated from continuing operations and are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See “Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale” below for details of the businesses’ assets and liabilities.

The Company retained liabilities for certain matters such as product warranties and other contingent liabilities with respect to certain of its discontinued operations. During the second and third quarters of 2011, the Company accrued approximately $8.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for these retained liabilities. The amount recorded in the second quarter of 2011 included $7.5 million

associated with Teleflex’s potential responsibility for recall costs associated with potentially defective products, which was a subject of pending litigation related to the Company’s former Commercial Segment. The accrual of the $7.5 million was based on the Company’s assessment of litigation developments during the second quarter. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company settled the litigation as it related to the recall costs and, as part of the settlement, paid $7.6 million in September 2011.

On March 22, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its marine business to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, LLC for $123.1 million (consisting of $100.9 million in cash, net of $1.5 million of cash included in the marine business as part of the net assets sold), plus a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $4.5 million and the assumption by the buyer of approximately $15.5 million in liabilities related to the marine business). The Company realized a gain of $57.0 million, net of tax benefits, from the sale of the business. As a result of the disposition, the Company realized accumulated losses from pension and postretirement obligations of approximately $8.4 million and cumulative translation gains of approximately $33.4 million as part of the gain on sale, resulting in a net change of approximately $25.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive income. The marine business consisted of the Company’s businesses that were engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of steering and throttle controls and engine and drive assemblies for the recreational marine market, heaters for commercial vehicles and burner units for military field feeding appliances. The marine business represented the Company’s entire Commercial Segment.

On December 31, 2010, the Company completed the sale of the actuation business of its subsidiary Telair International Incorporated to TransDigm Group, Incorporated for approximately $94 million and realized a gain of $51.0 million, net of tax, from the sale of the business.

On June 25, 2010, the Company completed the sale of its rigging products and services business (“Heavy Lift”) to Houston Wire & Cable Company for $50 million and realized a gain of $17.0 million, net of tax, from the sale of the business.

On March 2, 2010, the Company completed the sale of its SSI Surgical Services Inc. business (“SSI”) to a privately-owned healthcare company for approximately $25 million and realized a gain of $2.2 million, net of tax, from the sale of the business.

The prior period financial statements have been revised to present the actuation, marine, cargo container and cargo systems businesses as discontinued operations.

The following table presents the operating results of the operations that have been treated as discontinued operations for the periods presented:

(1)

Gain on disposition for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 includes curtailment and settlement losses of approximately $11.5 million on the pension and other postretirement obligations that were transferred to the buyer in connection with the sale of the marine business and an adjustment related to pension and other postretirement liabilities of $3.5 million that occurred during the second quarter of 2011.

(2)

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 was impacted favorably by the realization of net tax benefits resulting from the resolution (including the expiration of statutes of limitation) of U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax matters relating to prior years and by the tax on the gain from sale of the marine business being incurred at significantly lower than statutory effective tax rates.

The cargo systems business uses leased facilities in its operations. In connection with these operating leases, the Company’s cargo systems business had a residual value guarantee in the amount of approximately $7.4 million at September 25, 2011. The future payments under the operating leases cannot exceed the minimum rent obligation plus the residual value guarantee amount. The residual value guarantee amount is based upon the unamortized lease value of the asset under lease, and is payable by the Company’s cargo systems business if the lease is not renewed or the purchase option is not exercised with respect to the leased assets. At September 25, 2011, the Company’s cargo systems business had no liabilities recorded for these obligations. Any residual value guarantee amounts paid to the lessor may be recovered by the Company from the sale of the assets to a third party.

Note 17 — Subsequent event

On October 21, 2011, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its cargo systems and container aerospace businesses to a subsidiary of AAR CORP. for $280 million. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of 2011.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “guidance,” “potential,” “continue,” “project,” “forecast,” “confident,” “prospects,” and similar expressions typically are used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the then-current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about our business and the industry and markets in which we operate. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers or suppliers, including delays or cancellations in shipments; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; our ability to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, realize planned synergies and operate such businesses profitably in accordance with expectations; our ability to effectively execute our restructuring programs; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on revenues and pricing; increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; and global economic factors, including currency exchange rates and interest rates; difficulties entering new markets; and general economic conditions. For a further discussion of the risks relating to our business, see Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 26, 2011 and the pages from our prospectus supplement, dated June 8, 2011, to the prospectus, dated June 1, 2011, filed as Exhibit 99.1 thereto and incorporated therein by reference. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise specifically stated by us or as required by law or regulation.

Overview

Teleflex is a global provider of medical technology products that enable healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes, reduce infections and enhance patient and provider safety. We primarily develop, manufacture and supply single-use medical devices used by hospitals and healthcare providers for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in critical care and surgical applications. We serve hospitals and healthcare providers in more than 130 countries.

We provide a broad-based platform of medical products, which we categorize into four groups: Critical Care, Surgical Care, Cardiac Care and OEM and Development Services. Critical Care, representing our largest product group, includes medical devices used in vascular access, anesthesia, urology and respiratory care applications; Surgical Care includes surgical instruments and devices; and Cardiac Care includes cardiac assist devices and equipment. OEM and Development Services (“OEM”) design and manufacture instruments and devices for other medical device manufacturers.

Over the past several years, we have engaged in an extensive acquisition and divestiture program to improve margins, reduce cyclicality and focus our resources on the development of our healthcare business. We have significantly changed the composition of our portfolio of businesses, expanding our presence in the medical device industry, while divesting our businesses serving the aerospace markets and commercial markets. The most significant of these transactions occurred in 2007 with our acquisition of Arrow International, a leading global supplier of catheter-based medical technology products used for vascular access and cardiac care, and the divestiture of our automotive and industrial businesses. Our acquisition of Arrow significantly expanded our single-use medical product offerings for critical care, enhanced our global footprint and added to our research and development capabilities.

We continue to evaluate the composition of the portfolio of our products and businesses to ensure alignment with our overall objectives. We strive to maintain a portfolio of products and businesses that provide consistency of performance, improved profitability and sustainable growth.

During 2011, management approved plans to sell our cargo container and cargo systems businesses, reporting units constituting our former Aerospace Segment. On October 21, 2011, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to sell our cargo systems and container aerospace businesses to a subsidiary of AAR CORP. for $280 million. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of 2011.

On March 22, 2011, we completed the sale of our marine business to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, LLC for $123.1 million, consisting of $100.9 million in cash, net of $1.5 million of cash included in the marine business as part of the net assets sold, plus a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $4.5 million and the assumption by the buyer of approximately $15.5 million in liabilities related to the marine business. We realized a gain of $57.0 million, net of tax benefits, in connection with the sale. The marine business consisted of our businesses that were engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of steering and throttle controls and engine and drive assemblies for the recreational marine market, heaters for commercial vehicles and burner units for military field feeding appliances.

On December 31, 2010, we completed the sale of the actuation business of our subsidiary Telair International Incorporated to TransDigm Group, Incorporated for approximately $94 million and realized a gain of $51.0 million, net of tax, from the sale of the business.

On June 25, 2010, we completed the sale of our rigging products and services business (“Heavy Lift”) to Houston Wire & Cable Company for $50 million and realized a gain of $17.0 million, net of tax, from the sale of the business.

On March 2, 2010, we completed the sale of our SSI Surgical Services Inc. business (“SSI”) to a privately-owned healthcare company for approximately $25 million. We realized a gain of $2.2 million, net of tax, on this transaction.

The prior period financial statements have been revised to present the actuation, marine, cargo container and cargo systems businesses as discontinued operations. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for discussion of discontinued operations.

Health Care Reform

On March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law. This legislation will have a significant impact on our business. For medical device companies such as Teleflex, the expansion of medical insurance coverage should lead to greater utilization of the products we manufacture, but this legislation also contains provisions designed to contain the cost of healthcare, which could negatively affect pricing of our products. In addition, commencing in 2013, the legislation imposes a 2.3% excise tax on sales of medical devices. As this new law is implemented over the next 2-3 years, we will be in a better position to ascertain its impact on our business. We currently estimate the impact of the medical device excise tax will be approximately $15 million annually, beginning in 2013. Also in the first quarter of 2010, we evaluated the change in the tax regulations related to the Medicare Part D subsidy as currently outlined in the new legislation and determined that it did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Discussion of growth from acquisitions reflects the impact of a purchased company for up to twelve months beyond the date of acquisition. Activity beyond the initial twelve months is considered constant currency revenue growth. Constant currency revenue growth excludes the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period and the comparable activity of businesses divested within the most recent twelve-month period.

The following tables present the net revenues by product group for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010:


	Three Months Ended				% Increase/ (Decrease)
	September 25, 2011		September 26, 2010		Constant Currency			Currency Impact			Total Change

Total net revenues	$	1,117.2	$	1,047.0		3.4	%		3.3	%		6.7	%

The Critical Care product group achieved constant currency revenue growth of 3.6% and 3.9%, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011 compared with the same periods in 2010. The increase in the third quarter of 2011 was led principally by higher sales of vascular access products in North America and Asia/Latin America, anesthesia products in North America and Europe and urology products in Europe and Latin America. The increase in the first nine months of 2011 was primarily a result of higher sales of vascular access products in North America, Europe and Asia/Latin America, respiratory products in North America, Europe and Asia and of urology products in Europe and Latin America.

The Surgical Care product group experienced constant currency revenue growth of 1.9% in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to higher sales of ligation products in Europe, Asia and Latin America. For the first nine months of 2011, Surgical Care’s revenues grew 3.0% on a constant currency basis compared to the corresponding period in 2010 due to higher sales of ligation products in Europe, Asia and Latin America and of chest drainage products in Europe and Latin America.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Cardiac Care product group experienced a decrease in constant currency revenue of 1.7% compared with the same period of 2010. The decrease was largely attributable to lower sales of intra aortic balloon pumps in North America and Europe. For the first nine months of 2011, the Cardiac Care product group achieved constant currency revenue growth of 1.8% due to higher sales of intra aortic balloon pump catheters in each of our regions.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, the OEM product group revenues grew 5.6% and 3.1%, respectively, on a constant currency basis compared with the same periods of 2010, due to higher sales of specialty suture, catheter fabrication and orthopedic implant products.

Gross profit


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 25, 2011			September 26, 2010			September 25, 2011			September 26, 2010
	(Dollars in millions)
Gross profit	$	178.3		$	166.6		$	526.8		$	511.7
Percentage of revenues		47.9	%		48.3	%		47.2	%		48.9	%

The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues during the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011 was primarily related to higher manufacturing, raw material and fuel-related freight costs. In addition, provisions for the diminution in the net realizable value of inventory that has been phased out or whose shelf life has expired increased by $1.1 million and $5.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively. Further, we experienced an overall erosion of selling prices totaling $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 25, 2011, which exceeded the effect of favorable pricing actions in the third quarter of 2011, particularly in Asia and North America. Our ability to increase prices to offset the impact of higher commodity costs has been mixed, as price increases in Asia, Latin America and North America were more than offset by price erosion in Europe during the nine months ended September 25, 2011.

Selling, general and administrative


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 25, 2011			September 26, 2010			September 25, 2011			September 26, 2010
	(Dollars in millions)
Selling, general and administrative	$	102.9		$	101.5		$	317.3		$	297.0
Percentage of revenues		27.7	%		29.4	%		28.4	%		28.4	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended September 25, 2011 decreased to 27.7% from 29.4% during the same period in 2010, and was unchanged at 28.4% for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The increases in selling, general and administrative costs during the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011 were partially attributable to increased spending related to sales, marketing and clinical education initiatives of $4.7 million and $18.1 million, respectively, and increases in the valuation allowance against our zero coupon Greece government bonds of $1.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively. In addition, increases in litigation reserves were recorded in the second quarter of 2011 which increased selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 25, 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 also include approximately $2 million of net separation costs for our former CEO (comprised of $5 million of payments under his employment agreement, less approximately $3 million of stock option and restricted share forfeitures).

The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011 also included $1.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of costs related to VasoNova, a company we acquired in January 2011.

Research and development

Percentage of revenues		3.3	%		3.1	%		3.2	%		2.9	%

The increase in research and development expenses during the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily reflect increased investments related to catheter tip positioning technologies.

Restructuring and other impairment charges


	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 25, 2011			September 26, 2010		September 25, 2011		September 26, 2010
	(Dollars in millions)
Restructuring and other impairment charges	$	(0.1	)	$	1.1	$	3.6	$	1.7

Restructuring and other impairment charges were $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, which primarily consisted of impairment charges of $3.1 million related to the decline in value of certain investments in affiliates that are considered to be other than temporary recorded in the second quarter of 2011. The determination that the declines in value of these investments were other than temporary resulted from our determination that the operating losses of the entities in which we invested demonstrated that we would be unable to recover the carrying value of the investments. The impairment charges reduce the net carrying amount of our investments to the expected recovery amount negotiated with the remaining partners to the investment. Additionally, restructuring and other impairment charges during the nine months ended September 25, 2011 also included $0.5 million of costs associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program.

Restructuring and other impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010 were $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and were attributable to costs associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program.

Interest expense

Average interest rate on debt		5.5	%		5.6	%		5.2	%		5.6	%

Interest expense decreased in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 due to a reduction of approximately $114 million in average outstanding debt. For the first nine months of 2011, average outstanding debt was approximately $184 million lower than average outstanding debt during the corresponding period of 2010.

Loss on extinguishments of debt

During the nine months ended September 25, 2011, we recorded losses on the extinguishment of debt of $15.4 million as a result of the prepayment of our Senior Notes issued in 2004 (the “2004 Notes”) in the first quarter of 2011 and $125 million repayment of the term loan borrowing under our senior credit facility in the second quarter of 2011. In connection with the prepayment of our 2004 Notes, we recognized debt extinguishment costs of approximately $14.6 million related to the prepayment “make-whole” amount of $13.9 million paid to the holders of the 2004 Notes and the write-off of $0.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs incurred prior to the prepayment of the 2004 Notes. During the second quarter of 2011, we recorded a $0.8 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the $125 million repayment of the term loan borrowing. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further information.

Taxes on income from continuing operations


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 25, 2011			September 26, 2010			September 25, 2011			September 26, 2010
Effective income tax rate		23.9	%		(231.8	)%		23.4	%		19.7	%

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 was 23.4% compared to 19.7% for the nine months ended September 26, 2010. The net increase resulted primarily from a reduction in the tax impacts on beneficial discrete charges recorded in 2011 compared to 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include: capital expenditures, acquisitions, pension funding, dividends, common stock repurchases, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and access to other capital markets.

During the first half of 2011, we completed a series of transactions that significantly restructured our debt obligations and borrowing capacity. These transactions are summarized below and are described in detail in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

•

Prepayment of 2004 Notes. We prepaid the entire outstanding $165.8 million principal amount of our senior notes issued in 2004 (“2004 Notes”). In connection with this prepayment we paid the holders of the 2004 Notes a $13.9 million prepayment “make-whole” amount and accrued and unpaid interest of $1.7 million. We used $150.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and available cash to fund these payments.

•

Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings and Repayment. We borrowed $165.0 million under our revolving credit facility, of which $150 million was used to fund the prepayment of our 2004 Notes described above and the remainder was used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the VasoNova acquisition. We repaid the $165.0 million using $80.0 million of the proceeds from an additional term loan borrowing under our senior credit facility as described below, and $85.0 million in proceeds from our sale of the marine business.

•

Term Loan Borrowings and Repayment; Extension of Maturities.

•

We entered into an agreement with lenders under our senior credit facility that provided an additional principal amount of $100.0 million in term loan borrowings and used $80.0 million of the proceeds to repay a portion of the borrowings under our revolving credit facility described above. We subsequently repaid $125.0 million of term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility using a portion of the proceeds of the 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2019 that we issued in June 2011.

•

We obtained lender agreements to extend the maturity of $36.1 million of term loans from October 1, 2012 to October 1, 2014 and to extend the termination of $33.7 million of revolving credit facility commitments from October 1, 2012 to October 1, 2014.

•

6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2019. On June 13, 2011, we issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). We will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2011, at a rate of 6.875% per year. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2019, unless earlier redeemed. We incurred transaction fees of approximately $3.7 million, including underwriters’ discounts and commissions, in connection with the public offering of the Notes. As noted above, we used $125 million of the net proceeds to repay term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility. We also recorded a $0.8 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2011.

The following table provides a summary of our outstanding borrowings and remaining borrowing capacity under our lending arrangements, excluding fees, discounts and interest incurred, as of September 25, 2011 and December 31, 2010, reflecting all of the transactions described above.


	September 25, 2011		December 31, 2010
	(Dollars in millions)
Senior credit facility:
Term loan	$	375.0	$	400.0
Revolving credit		—		—
Letters of credit		2.6		3.7

Outstanding	$	377.6	$	403.7
Remaining borrowing capacity^(a)	$	397.4	$	396.3
2004 Notes		—		165.8
3.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes		400.0		400.0
6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes		250.0		—

(a)	The remaining borrowing capacity under the senior credit agreement represents the amount that may be borrowed through the $400 million revolving credit facility and additional letters of credit. All revolving credit facility commitments terminate on October 1, 2014.

At September 25, 2011 interest on the term loan borrowings under the senior credit facility was 2.50%, based on a “LIBOR rate” of 0.25% and an applicable margin of 2.25%.

Our senior credit facility and our 6.875% senior subordinated notes due 2019 contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur debt, create liens, consolidate, merge or dispose of certain assets, make certain investments, engage in acquisitions, pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock and enter into swap agreements.

See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding the terms and maturities of the credit facilities and debt securities described above.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations totaled $64.7 million during the nine months ended September 25, 2011, compared to $103.9 million during the nine months ended September 26, 2010. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in 2010 primarily reflects the fact that we received a significant tax refund of $59.5 million in 2010, which favorably affected cash flow in the 2010 period. In addition, the 2011 decrease reflects a $40.5 million increase in worldwide inventory levels, which was $23 million greater than the $17.5 million increase in inventory during the 2010 period. We increased our inventory levels in 2011 principally to improve our service levels by accelerating fulfillment of customer orders. The inventory increase also included a $12.8 million increase in the Asia Pacific region to stock a new distribution facility in Singapore. These operating cash flow decreases as compared to the prior period were somewhat offset by a modestly smaller increase in accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 25, 2011 as compared to the prior year period. The accounts receivable increase in the 2011 period was $41.3 million, $7.2 million less than the increase during to the same period in 2010. However, $39.7 million of the increase in 2010 resulted from a change in accounting guidance that caused trade receivables under our asset securitization program to be included as accounts receivable on our balance sheet. Prior to the change in accounting guidance, the trade receivables were treated as sold and were not included in our balance sheet. The increase in accounts receivable during the first nine months of 2011 reflects higher accounts receivable in Europe of $33.1 million, primarily due to the termination of a factoring agreement in Italy ($21.7 million), and a slowdown in payments, particularly in Italy, Spain and Greece ($14.0 million). We are required to make minimum pension contributions totaling $6.4 million during 2011, of which $4.3 million were made during the nine months ended September 25, 2011.

During the second and third quarters of 2011, we recognized an increase in litigation reserves of $8.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, associated with retained liabilities related to businesses that have been divested. The amount recorded in the second quarter of 2011 included $7.5 million associated with our potential responsibility for recall costs associated with potentially defective products, which was a subject of pending litigation related to our former Commercial Segment. During the third quarter of 2011, we settled the litigation as it related to the recall costs and, as part of the settlement, paid $7.6 million in September 2011.

We continue to monitor credit risk resulting from the recent economic and financial turmoil related to sovereign debt issues in certain countries in southern Europe. As a result of the continuing deterioration of the macro-economic factors in these countries, particularly Greece, Italy and Spain, we may incur higher credit losses related to the public hospital systems in these countries, which may have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the fourth quarter of 2011 and beyond. As of September 25, 2011, our outstanding accounts receivables from publicly funded hospitals in these countries was $68.3 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations totaled $42.8 million during the nine months ended September 25, 2011 compared to $54.6 million during the nine months ended September 26, 2010. Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations during 2011 includes $100.9 million in proceeds, net of $1.5 million in cash included in net assets sold, from the sale of the marine business, partly offset by cash paid of $30.6 million for the acquisition of VasoNova and capital expenditures of $27.6 million. The $30.6 million paid for the acquisition of VasoNova includes the initial payment of $24.9 million plus a $6.0 million contingent payment made to the former VasoNova security holders upon receiving 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration less a hold back fee and cash in the business obtained in the acquisition.

Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations totaled $32.3 million during the nine months ended September 25, 2011, which included proceeds from additional borrowings of $515 million, including the issuance of $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes. This additional indebtedness was partially offset by repayments of outstanding debt totaling $455.8 million, including the prepayment of the 2004 Notes totaling $165.8 million and the repayment of $125.0 million under our senior credit facility. We incurred costs of $18.5 million associated with the repayments of these amounts (including the related make whole amounts paid to the holders of the 2004 Notes and related fees) and our additional borrowings. We also made dividend payments of $41.3 million and recognized proceeds of $32.9 million from the exercise of outstanding stock options issued under our stock compensation plans.

Stock Repurchase Program

In 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases of our stock under the Board authorization may be made from time to time in the open market and may include privately-negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant and subject to regulatory considerations. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and our ability to execute on the program will depend on, among other factors, cash requirements for acquisitions, cash generation from operations, debt repayment obligations, market conditions and regulatory requirements. In addition, under our senior credit facility and our 6.875% senior subordinated notes due 2019, we are subject to certain restrictions relating to our ability to repurchase shares in the event our consolidated leverage ratio exceeds certain levels, which may limit our ability to repurchase shares under this Board authorization. Through September 25, 2011, no shares have been purchased under this Board authorization.

Net Debt to Total Capital Ratio

The following table provides our net debt to total capital ratio:


	September 25, 2011			December 31, 2010
	(Dollars in millions)
Net debt includes:
Current borrowings	$	29.7		$	103.7
Long-term borrowings		952.3			813.4

Total debt(a)		982.0			917.1
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		371.7			208.5

Net debt	$	610.3		$	708.6

Total capital includes:
Net debt	$	610.3		$	708.6
Total common shareholders’ equity		1,932.2			1,783.4

Total capital	$	2,542.5		$	2,492.0

Percent of net debt to total capital		24	%		28	%

(a)

Our total debt is net of unamortized debt discount.

We believe that our cash flow from operations and our ability to access additional funds through credit facilities will enable us to fund our operating requirements and capital expenditures and meet debt obligations. Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, we will from time to time consider other financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or for other purposes.

New Accounting Standards

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in market risk for the quarter ended September 25, 2011. See the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b)

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

On October 11, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, Arrow International, Inc. (“Arrow”), received a corporate warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), expressing concerns with Arrow’s quality systems and advising that Arrow’s corporate-wide program to evaluate, correct and prevent quality system issues had been deficient. The Company developed and implemented a comprehensive plan to correct the issues raised in the letter and further improve overall quality systems. The FDA reinspected the Arrow facilities covered by the corporate warning letter, and in the third quarter of 2010, removed the limitations previously imposed on Arrow with respect to certificates of foreign governments. In June 2011, the Company received formal notification from the FDA that all issues raised by the corporate warning letter have been addressed.

In addition, we are a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, employment and environmental matters. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, we do not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In connection with the public offering of its 6.875% senior subordinated notes due 2019, the Company provided updated risk factors in the Prospectus Supplement, dated June 8, 2011, to the Prospectus, dated June 1, 2011 (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The updated risk factors were included on pages S-17 to S-29, S-30, S-31 and S-35 of the Prospectus Supplement. The text of the updated risk factors was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 26, 2011, and were incorporated therein by reference. There have been no material changes in the risk factors during the three months ended September 25, 2011.
