Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 31, 2007, Teleflex Incorporated (the "Company") issued a press release (the "Press Release") announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2007. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. In addition to the financial information included in the Press Release that has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the Press Release includes information regarding certain income measures that exclude the effect of special charges related to restructuring, gain or loss on sale of assets and the effect of a tax adjustment, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Press Release includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that the use of income measures that exclude the effect of special charges related to restructuring, gain or loss on sale of assets and the effect of a tax adjustment provide useful information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. However, such non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, such non-GAAP financial measures as presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be considered "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless the Company expressly sets forth in such future filing that such information is to be considered "filed" or incorporated by reference therein.
