Arrow International Urges Shareholders To Vote for Approval of the $45.50 Teleflex Inc. Merger and for the Current Board of...(proxy at the Annual Meeting whoare entit...),Health

Date:9/4/2007

proxy at the Annual Meeting who are entitled to vote must vote "FOR" adoption of the merger agreement. Assuming it is approved, shortly thereafter, as an Arrow shareholder you will become eligible to receive $45.50 in cash for each share of Arrow common stock you own on the date the merger is consummated.

-- This payment represents a premium of approximately 38.6% over the

closing price of our common stock on May 8, 2007, the last full trading

day before the announcement of Arrow's decision to explore strategic

alternatives.

-- Your Arrow Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote

"FOR" the adoption of the Teleflex merger agreement.

Do Not Be Confused by the Solicitation of the McNeil Trust

We also wish to alert you to the fact that the Robert L. McNeil, Jr. 1983 Trust is soliciting Blue proxies for the 2007 Annual Meeting. We expect there may be some confusion among our shareholders as to why the McNeil Trust is seeking to replace your current Board of Directors with its own hand-picked nominees, especially since the McNeil Trust has announced its intention to vote in favor of the transaction with Teleflex. We strongly urge you not to sign or return any Blue proxy cards that you may receive from the McNeil Trust.

Vote to Support Your Board and the Teleflex Merger Agreement

We believe that your Company's nominees should be reelected to serve on the Board of Directors. The current Board of Directors initiated the process that led to the transaction with Teleflex, negotiated the merger agreement and has been working with Teleflex for several months to accomplish this transaction. The McNeil Trust opposed the strategic alternative process, including the possibility of a sale, from the beginning. Only after your current board announced the outstanding transaction with Teleflex did the McNeil Trust announce its intention to vote for the deal. You deserve a Board of Directors fully commit
