Idea Generator Procedure

We want to make it as easy as possible to share your ideas with us. Please follow the steps of the procedure outlined here to understand the kind of input Teleflex is seeking and the best way to draft your submission.

Concept

Before submitting your idea to Teleflex, consider its status. Is it something new and unique? Is it complete? Can it be communicated clearly? While all submissions will be reviewed, there is a difference between an idea and a concept. Teleflex is looking for ideas that are refined and ready for consideration. Making your idea submission as clear and concise as possible increases its chances for successful review.

Document Your Idea

Please provide as much detail as possible to help us fully understand your submission. Along with a description of the idea itself, please include its purpose, how it works and how it will benefit the medical practice. You will have the option of uploading any documents necessary to help explain your idea, including graphics or illustrations, so that it is communicated as thoroughly and clearly as possible.

Self Review and Alignment

After documenting your idea, the next step is to review your submission in accordance with Teleflex’s developmental direction. We are looking for new ideas that are aligned to the company’s business platforms, with a focus on providing products that help clinicians protect against infection, improving patient outcomes, and improvements in patient and provider safety.

As you review your proposal:

• Think about what differentiates your idea for a product or service from what is currently being offered by Teleflex. More information about Teleflex’s products and services is available at teleflex.com.
• Try to research whether this idea is new or if something similar has either been created in the past or could be in the works currently.
• Consider what the value would be to all those involved, especially the clinical user or patient.

Submitting Your Idea to Teleflex

Prior to submitting your finished proposal, take a moment to read over the Terms of Submission. This document spells out all details of the submission phase clearly to ensure that all parties involved understand the process.

Teleflex Review

Once submitted, the non-confidential information regarding your idea will go through a review process at Teleflex. Various groups throughout the company will review your idea and assess whether it is a viable idea for Teleflex to consider pursuing.

Teleflex Response

We will notify you once Teleflex has made a final decision about your proposal. You can expect to receive a response from Teleflex within approximately three months of submitting your idea.

Thank you for choosing to share your idea with Teleflex.
