LAS VEGAS (Jan. 27, 2014)—Last year’s Medtrade brought unprecedented academic and consumer attention lavished on sleep medicine, and that trend is continuing in 2014. Sleep research originating in the United States and abroad continues to pour forth on almost a weekly basis. The interest in sleep is reflected in the exhibitor list at Medtrade Spring, which includes the following sleep/sleep accessory companies: Apex Medical Corp - Booth #850 Battery Power Solutions - Booth #743 Beijing Rongrui-Century Science & Tech - Booth #850 Blue Chip Medical Products Inc - Booth #623 Complete Medical Supplies - Booth #722 Contour Products Inc - Booth #1043 Core Products Intl - Booth #754 DeVilbiss Healthcare – Booth #927 Drive Medical - Booth #717 Fisher And Paykel Healthcare – Booth #819 GE Healthcare - Booth #326 Graham-Field – Booth #619 Health Call LLC - Booth #1029 Hudson Medical - Booth #929 Inventory Solutions Inc - Booth #357 Nova Medical Products - Booth #733 Philips Respironics Inc – Booth #706 RemZzzs – Booth #943 ResMed – Booth #211 Revsuppliance - Booth #1060 Roscoe Medical – Booth #411 Sunset Healthcare Solutions - Booth #760 Virtuox - Booth #860 Vitility - Booth #361 The list is filled with small, medium and large companies that focus on patients of all ages. In the case of Naturs Design, a Michigan-based company, founder Bob Rutan created his signature product literally in the middle of the night. As his wife suffered through another miserable night with a CPAP mask, Rutan literally cut cloth from his own T-shirt to fashion a CPAP mask liner. “After that, I fell asleep and woke up seven hours later,” says Rutan, whose company now makes RemZzzs CPAP liners. “I thought I had killed my wife, because she had not moved. She had not slept so well in a long time.” That was five years ago, and the inspiration has blossomed into a 15-employee company that will soon exhibit its retail cash item (a 100 percent cotton CPAP liner called RemZzzs) at Medtrade Spring (Booth #943), scheduled for March 10-12 at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
