The Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) competition is the medtech industry's premier awards program recognizing the highest caliber medical devices and diagnostic products on the market. Now in its 17th year, the competition draws entries from around the world in 11 categories. Distinguished jurors from various specialties, including clinicians, designers, and engineers, gathered for a weekend in February to mull over the submissions and determine which products are worthy of awards.
The following products rose to the top of the field as finalists, but the recipients of gold, silver, and bronze honors in each category, as well as the product deemed by the jurors to be the best-in-show, won't be announced until a ceremony on June 11, 2014, at the MD&M East conference and exposition in New York City. We hope you can join us for the event.
Until then, let yourself be inspired by the 2014 MDEA finalists in the following categories:
