Rhinebeck, NY (PRWEB) November 04, 2016 -- Judges and attendees at the biannual Innovative HME Retail Product Awards, sponsored by HomeCare Magazine, tabulated the top three vote getters on November, 01 2016.
MyPainAway® Fibro Cream from Topical BioMedics (Booth #1767 at Medtrade) received first prize!
Patented and effective for treating the pains of fibromyalgia, MyPainAway® Fibro Cream is an odorless, moisturizing cream that brings a soothing combination of 11-natural biomedicines to rapidly relieve nerve and muscle pain of fibromyalgia at the cellular level assisting the body to heal the damage that causes the pain.

The cream stood on the podium with second place finisher The SoClean 2 CPAP Sanitizer from So Clean, described by marketing director Jessica Cormier as “the world’s first automated CPAP sanitizer, and is the faster, easier, more effective way to clean CPAP machine equipment….”
And third place went to, The Tour (Walker) from Motivo, a walker/rollator that provides greater independence, ergonomics, and personal style.
“More manufacturers are helping us drive the retail component of our business through social media, advertising, point of purchase displays, and YouTube videos,” says Cindy Ciardo, co-owner and CEO, Knueppel Health Care Services, and a judge in the competition. “All of that helps. And more companies are policing their pricing through minimum advertised price [MAP] policies. That is huge.”
The awards are all about promoting and recognizing products that contribute to providers’ bottom lines though retail cash sales. “We had a lot of excellent entrants this year,” says Kevin Gaffney, group show director, Medtrade. “It was a tough decision, but our judges narrowed it down.”
The top 8 products were presented in a retail awards conference session hosted by Jim Greatorex, who works in Business Development for the VGM Group. The session took place Nov 1 at 9:00 am. After manufacturers presented their products, voting took place to determine the top three winners.
