Local companies a hit at medical trade show

Sister companies Innovative Medical and Youngquist Medical launched their new, state-of-the-art interactive booth display recently at the OMTEC Tradeshow in Illinois.

The OMTEC Tradeshow lets companies feature their latest advancements in medical grade components and ultra-accurate machining. It's the largest medical tradeshow in the country and attracts medical professionals from around the globe.

The Innovative/Youngquist booth features a skeletal display on a 42-inch plasma television screen with interactive video that relates to specific parts or topics through touch-screen programming. The interactive video provided viewers with a process summary and image gallery on the component selected, such as vertebrae, knee joints, and occipital bones.

Paul McCullers, Harvey Youngquist Jr., Jack Essayian, Terry Flack and Scott Swanson attended, and said the OMTEC was "the most successful tradeshow we have yet to participate in."
