One area of industrial design that cannot afford to be frivolous is medical device design. The 32 winners of the 2009 Medical Design Excellence Awards competition are all serious pieces of hardware, ranging from dental lasers and anti-germ keyboards to diagnostic tools and laboratory equipment.

All of the winners will be on display this June at the Medical Design & Manufacturing East 2009 Conference and Exposition being held in New York. You can take a sneak peek at the winners here, on the MDEA site, which also has archives of previous years' winners dating back to 1998.
