Celebrating the 2022 Medical Design Excellence Awards Winners & Finalists

The medtech industry’s premier awards program honors significant achievements in medical product design & engineering that improve the quality of healthcare delivery & accessibility.

The Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEAs), the medtech industry’s premier awards program, organized by Informa Markets – Engineering, publisher of Medical Device + Diagnostic Industry (MD+DI), today announced the winners and finalists for the 2022 MDEA competition. This year, nearly 30 winners and finalists were announced in 10 product categories on www.mddionline.com.

Since its inception in 1998, the MDEA program has honored significant achievements in medical product design and engineering that improve the quality of healthcare delivery and accessibility. More than just a beauty contest, the MDEAs convene an independent panel of esteemed jurors—made up of clinicians, engineers, and designers—to select up to six finalists, as well as Bronze, Silver, and Gold winners in each of the 10 product categories, along with overall Best-in-Show winner and Readers’ Choice. The annual competition recognizes products that are moving the $450 billion medical device industry forward through life-saving innovations and remarkable technological advancements.

Entries are scored based on five criteria: design and engineering innovations, user-related innovations, benefits to overall healthcare, benefits to patients, and differentiation in the market.
