This fall, DryPro’s line of waterproof cast bandage and wound protectors was included in Senior Care Product’s feature on Medtrade Innovative HME Retail Product Awards. The Innovative HME Retail Product Awards honored HME products that are particularly suited for effective retail sales in HME stores. The purpose of the competition was to promote and recognize products that contributed to the providers’ bottom line through cash sales.

Manufactures at Medtrade submitted their products for judging by a panel of retail experts prior to the show. A committee of judges sorted through the latest products to find the best new retail items, all with the aim of helping providers bring in vital new revenue streams.

The winning products were featured in the expanded Retail Design Center and attendees were able to learn more about them at an interactive panel moderated by Jim Greatorex, owner of Black Bear Medical in Portland, Maine.

“I and many others, go to Medtrade looking for the next great cash opportunity,” says Greatorex. “This year providers had a chance to expand their business, and in some situations, be one of the first to promote a product.”

The winners were judged on functionality, quality/durability, aesthetics/style, environmental sustainability and ease of retail setup and pricing. Medtrade plans to make the awards an annual event.
