Teleflex Medical OEM Expands Jaffrey Facility and Creates 65 New Jobs
02 June 2009
Teleflex Medical OEM, a global leader in precision extrusion and medical devices, announced today it has completed the expansion of its medical device manufacturing facility in Jaffrey, NH, including the installation of a state-of-the-art clean room.
The Teleflex Medical OEM segment also announced the creation of 65 new jobs at the site. To mark these milestones the Teleflex Medical OEM segment will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday 11 June at the facility in Jaffrey. The invitation-only event will feature presentations by local dignitaries, guided tours and a reception.
The opening of the clean room marks a major investment by Teleflex Medical OEM in a facility that is known for its portfolio of advanced medical devices used in cardiology, radiology, urology and other critical areas of medicine. Major medical equipment manufacturers routinely select Teleflex Medical OEM to design, prototype and manufacture custom medical devices for special surgical applications.
The climate-controlled clean room will provide additional space for the development and production of next-generation medical devices. Air quality, temperature and humidity will be highly regulated to protect sterile product from contamination and create a clean environment for assembling and packaging sensitive medical components. To minimise potential contaminates clean room visitors must wear lint-free, protective clothing that helps prevent human skin or hair particles from entering the room's atmosphere.
