MDEA WINNERS
The winning medical technology companies in the annual Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) competition often owe much of their success to the efforts of the suppliers and designers that worked with them to develop their innovative medical devices.
The MDEA competition acknowledges the contributions of named suppliers through a program designed especially to honor the companies that support MDEA-winning products. These suppliers earn the exclusive right to use and display the special MDEA supplier logo in their promotional materials and exhibit booths.
