For example, if a user is on the Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry (MD+DI) website, and conducts a keyword search, the results now contain content from every site in the network, providing the user with the most complete search results and resources for their query. This functionality also provides suppliers with Qmed profiles more visibility to the entire medical device network of website users.

"Qmed profiles that have been optimized with keywords now have the added benefit and exposure of appearing in searches across all UBM Canon medical device sites," stated Tim Simone, Qmed Brand Director. "Basically, if they have a Qmed profile optimized for a particular keyword search, they will now show up on search results on MD+DI, MPMN, EMDT, MED, IVDT, CMDM, JMD&DM, OrthoTec, and others. Do a search on any of these sites and you'll notice that many of the Qmed listings are coming up first in the search results." 

Qmed's powerful search tool, directory, and white paper library provide the most efficient supplier-sourcing experience for medical device OEMs. Supplier listings and resources are editorially screened to give OEMs relevant information on medical contract manufacturers, stock component suppliers, and medical device consultancies.
