Waterlase awarded for Medical Design Excellence

Biolase Technology's Waterlase MD dental laser has been named a winner in the Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) 2005 competition. The Medical Design Excellence Awards is the only awards program that exclusively recognizes contributions and advances in the design of medical products. Entries are evaluated on the basis of product innovation, design and engineering excellence, end-user benefit and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing and healthcare delivery.


BIOLASE is one of only two companies within the dental instruments, equipment and supplies industry to be honoured in the MDEA competition (See story on Ivoclar Vivadent's OptraGate system). Finalists were chosen after a comprehensive review of the entries was performed by an impartial, multidisciplinary panel of jurors with expertise in biomedical engineering, industrial design, medicine and diagnostics. MDEA awards are offered in 10 categories ranging from critical care and emergency products to implant devices and surgical equipment.

Robert E. Grant, President and CEO of Biolase stated: "We are honoured to receive this award and to be recognized for our engineering achievement. This award highlights the Company's exceptional product development capabilities in bringing to market a new and exciting dental laser that offers mass appeal while raising the bar to a new level of clinical excellence. We believe as more dentists adopt our technology, the Waterlase MD will change how dentistry is practised and perceived in the years to come."
