One Week Left to Enter MD+DI's Medtech Startup Showdown 2017

MD+DI's Medtech Startup Showdown will group competitors into tournament brackets, while MD+DI readers vote for their favorite companies each week. The startups that collect the most reader votes each week move on to the next tournament round. The winner of the showdown will be profiled on MD+DI.

"Startups are the lifeblood of medtech innovation, but it's challenging for early-stage companies," said Jamie Hartford, Editor-in-Chief, MD+DI and Director of Content, Medical Brands, UBM Advanced Design and Manufacturing Group. "MD+DI's Medtech Startup Showdown is a fun way for us to draw our readers' attention to promising young companies, and it can be a great chance for startups that enter to gain exposure and get the word out about their technologies."

The winner of the 2016 Medtech Startup Showdown, Houston-based Procyrion, was profiled on MD+DI. To read more about Procyrion, visit http://www.mddionline.com/blog/devicetalk/keeping-heart-failure-patients-their-feet-05-20-16
