HONORING OUR LEGACY AS WE UNITE TO ELEVATE GYNECOLOGIC SURGERY 59 Soothing All-Natural Vulvar Cream “We wanted to create a product we were truly passionate about. And share it with the world we care about.” It all started when 5 gynecologists got together and realized effective all-natural vulvar moisturizers were missing on the market today, and a major change was needed. As active healthcare professionals, they wanted to expand the options for women to choose the ingredients used on their most sensitive areas. This is how Vajuvenate was born. Created for women, by women. FRAGRANCE • HORMONE ADDITIVE • DYE www.VajuvenateNow.com FREE COMING SOON IN 2019 Less trauma. In its simplest form. See the difference live at Teleflex Booth 425.

With the MiniLap® Percutaneous Surgical System, you can now make minimally invasive surgery even less invasive.

With just a 2.4 mm diameter, the MiniLap System enters directly through the skin with an integrated needle tip, eliminating the need for an insertion trocar. The result? Reduced trauma and improved patient satisfaction.

Easy to use and quick to learn, the MiniLap System provides the graspers and electrocautery tools you need for less complex laparoscopic surgeries.

Smaller incisions mean less trauma. It’s that simple.
