MDEA WINNERS
Return to Article: |
Medtech manufacturers that develop winning products in the annual Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) competition rarely go it alone. Bringing innovative medical technologies to market typically requires the coordinated activity of many extramural suppliers and designers.
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.
MDEA supplier honors involve companies with a wide range of specialties, including design firms, materials suppliers, component manufacturers, and consulting firms. But whatever their area of expertise, these firms play a vital role in enabling medical device manufacturers to produce award-winning products.
The following guide provides contact information for the 57 named suppliers to this year's MDEA-winning products. In keeping with the global scope of the medical device industry, 18 of the supplier companies are from outside the United States, representing Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
For additional information about these suppliers, visit the Medical Device Link online suppliers directories via www.devicelink.com.
