Teleflex Incorporated Q3 2008 Financial Results October 28, 2008 Exhibit 99.1

Forward-Looking Statements/Additional Notes This presentation and our discussion contain forward-looking information and statements including, but not limited to, such matters as expected core revenue growth, synergies from acquisitions, operating margins and product deliveries; expectations with respect to currency; forecasts of earnings per share including special charges, special charges, earnings per share excluding special charges and adjusted operating cash flow; market trends, future business and financial performance; and other matters which inherently involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are addressed in the Company's SEC filings including its most recent Form 10-K. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include operating margins before special charges; earnings per share excluding special charges; segment operating margins before special charges; adjusted segment operating margins; adjusted gross profit; adjusted operating expenses; operating income before special charges and (gain)/loss on sale; and income and diluted earnings per share, excluding restructuring & impairment charges, (gains)/losses and other charges and tax adjustment. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of restructuring and impairment costs, gain or loss on the sale of assets, a tax payment related to gain on sale of Automotive & Industrial businesses, fair market value adjustments for inventory and acquisition integration costs. In addition, this presentation includes information regarding free cash flow, which reflects cash from operations minus capital expenditures and dividend payments. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is contained within this presentation. Segment operating profit is defined as a segment's revenues reduced by its materials, labor, and other product costs along with the segment's selling, engineering, and administrative expenses and minority interest. Unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring costs, gain or loss on the sale of assets, acquisition integration costs, fair market adjustments for inventory, interest income and expense and taxes on income are excluded from the measure. The following slides reflect continuing operations.
