Arrow International Sends Letter Reminding Shareholders to Vote White Proxy Card in Support of Teleflex Merger and Election of Current Board of Directors

Date:9/13/2007

process that resulted in the $45.50 per share cash offer from Teleflex.

Do NOT add risk by voting for the McNeil Trust

There is no need to add uncertainty to the merger closing process by electing new directors, as the McNeil Trust is attempting to do. The McNeil Trust opposed the strategic alternatives process from the beginning and voiced support for the merger only after the transaction was publicly announced. There is a difference between being committed to a transaction and merely agreeing to vote for it. We do not think it is in your best interest to allow nominees of a shareholder who is not committed to completing this merger handle any issues that may arise between the approval of the merger agreement and the closing of the transaction. We believe the McNeil Trust's nominees are not the best option for shareholders. We believe their slate presents added risk to the transaction, and in the unlikely event the merger is not consummated, the Trust's slate offers only a return to the disappointments that existed when the current Board of Directors decided to explore strategic alternatives. We strongly urge you NOT to sign or return any blue proxy cards to the McNeil Trust.

Please vote the WHITE proxy card today

If your shares are held by your brokerage firm or bank, you must provide them with instructions on how to vote on your behalf or they will be unable to vote your shares on certain issues, including the adoption of the merger agreement. Given that time is short, we encourage you to follow the instructions on the enclosed form to vote by telephone or Internet.

If you have any questions or would like assistance in voting your shares of Arrow common stock, please call our proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co., Inc., toll-free at 1-800-662-5200.

Sincerely yours,

Philip B. Fleck

President and Chief Executive Officer

R. James Macaleer

Chairman of the Board of Directors
