SALT LAKE CITY— Twenty-eight innovations and the Utah companies that created them have been named a finalist or honorable mention recipient in the 14th annual Utah Innovation Awards, presented by Stoel Rives LLP and the Utah Technology Council. Winners will be announced, and finalists and honorable mention recipients will be honored, at a special Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at the Hilton Salt Lake
City Center. Registration is available online at www.utahinnovationawards.com.
This statewide program, the first of its kind and sponsored by Webb Audio Visual Communication, Utah Business Magazine, KUER 90.1, USTAR, ViaWest, Lone Peak Productions, STEM Utah Coalition, Grant Thornton and GoEngineer is designed to recognize innovations and the Utah companies that created them. A committee of more than 80 experts from Utah’s private industry, government and academic communities voted on winners and finalists in each of the program’s eight categories: Clean Technology and Energy; Computer Hardware/Electrical Devices; Consumer Software; Enterprise Software, Cloud and Big Data; Life Science – Biotech; Life Science – Medical Device; Mechanical Systems/Chemicals/Manufacturing; and Outdoor and Consumer Products. The Selection Committee votes were tallied by the accounting firm and Platinum
Sponsor, Grant Thornton.
In addition to identifying finalists, the Selection Committee also identified innovations worthy of honorable mention (note: there is no restriction on the number of honorable mention recipients recognized in each category). Below is a complete list of the finalists and honorable mention recipients listed alphabetically by category:

TURNER MEDTECH BRINGS ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION TO RADIATION SHIELDING
-“As a global society we have committed to remove toxic materials like lead from as many applications as possible. At Turner we have focused on providing alternatives to lead in ways that others did not consider possible.
GMASS™ 3D PRINTING FILAMENT BY TURNER MEDTECH PREMIERS AT RSNA
-New Filament for Rapid Prototyping and Improved Metal Simulation for Applications Requiring Weighting, Balancing, or Radiation Shielding.
Special to RSNA 2014, Nov. 5, 2014, Chicago—In a move that continues a legacy of advanced expertise in radiation technology and device innovation, Turner MedTech, of Orem, Utah, is premiering the new GMASS 3D filament at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual trade show event Nov. 30-Dec. 5 in the South Hall Booth #4079.
Orders are being accepted now for delivery in 2014. GMASS filament materials will revolutionize the 3D printing of higher density components such as radiation shielding assemblies and anywhere metal simulation is required.
The filaments can eliminate traditional prototyping processes such as laser sintering of metal materials by providing an easy and much more accessible alternative that developers can accomplish with common and inexpensive desktop 3D printers.
In addition to medical and x-ray devices, GMASS also provides a new alternative for sports or consumer products where the need to achieve vibration dampening or to simulate the weighting and balancing of metal is required, company officials said.
“We are extremely pleased to bring a technology to market that will serve as a catalyst for a new era of innovation in 3D printing,” said Dr. Clark Turner, Turner MedTech Founder and CEO. “The new GMASS filaments are ideal for x-ray equipment designers and are also configured for easy use by hobbyists and experimentalists in the rapidly growing 3D printing industry as well.”
Turner noted that the GMASS filaments provide a faster and easier way to create prototype components that require higher density than typical plastic materials can provide. Anyone who requires a component in the 2.7 to 4.0 g/cc range will welcome the new innovation capabilities the new GMASS alternatives can provide.
For example, Turner notes a growing x-ray equipment company is currently using GMASS to prototype an x-ray collimator design. The new GMASS filaments are allowing the company to save significant time and money as they work through their development process. GMASS will allow them to bring their new product to market much more quickly and cost effectively than before.
In a related announcement, Turner MedTech will also premier ClearShield™ LEAD-FREE radiation shielding at the RSNA 2014 show, the company said. The ClearShield™ product, available in early Q1 2015, meets all RoHS requirements and will come in standard sizes or can be custom fabricated for specific manufacturing needs. A further announcement regarding ClearShield will be released shortly.

NEW LEAD-FREE ACRYLIC X-RAY SHIELDING PREMIERS AT RSNA 2014 IN CHICAGO – CLEARSHIELD BY TURNER MEDTECH
- Turner MedTech Announces an Innovative Lead-free Acrylic Shielding that Meets RoHS Requirements and Protects Users from X-ray Exposure.
Special to RSNA 2014, Nov. 5, 2014, Chicago
SPECIAL TO MD&M WEST, Feb. 11, Anaheim—In a move to provide increasingly effective outsource alternatives for the medical device industry, Orem, Utah-based Turner MedTech has announced its formal launch at the MD&M West Conference today in booth 283.
Under the direction of acclaimed technologist and entrepreneur Dr. Clark Turner, Turner MedTech provides medical device product developers with a highly-specialized alternative for rapid prototyping and short-run outsourced manufacturing of components and products.
Smart Strategies For Medical Device Manufacturing
In a burgeoning market that is poised to reach $44.7 billion by 2017, a recent report from VisionGain notes that outsourcing allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to reduce their manufacturing costs by an average of 10-30%.
“The rationale for outsourced manufacturing and product development is clear,” said Dr. Clark Turner, founder of the newly emerging Turner MedTech: “Outsourcing allows device manufacturers to focus on their greatest core competencies, while benefiting from the efficiency and high specialization of an expert resource such as Turner MedTech.”
With an eye towards unmatched excellence and customer satisfaction (and compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and the FDA GMP), Turner MedTech provides the following services from its Utah facilities:
While Turner MedTech provides a full spectrum of commercialization resources the company is a particularly optimal partner for entrepreneurs and product developers with a product design in hand who are looking for an ideal manufacturing partner, Turner said.

SPECIAL TO MD&M WEST, 2014 NEW MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURING SPECIALIST: INTRODUCING TURNER MEDTECH
-An Ideal Solution for End-to-End Product Commercialization, Including Rapid Prototyping, Outsourced Manufacturing and Machining Expertise.
Special to RSNA 2014, Nov. 20, 2014, Chicago—Continuing the innovation from its advanced expertise in radiation technology and x-ray device innovation, Turner MedTech, of Orem, Utah, is premiering ClearShield™ at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting Nov. 30–Dec. 4. ClearShield may be found in the South Hall Booth #4079 of McCormick Place.
ClearShield is lead-free, eco-friendly, and it complies with European Union RoHS requirements. ClearShield is composed of a patent-pending bismuth material that produces a clear acrylic lead-free sheet for reliable shielding protection from x-ray exposure. There is absolutely no lead utilized.
ClearShield comes in standard sizes, thicknesses and lead (Pb) equivalent shielding ratings. It may also be custom fabricated for specific needs. ClearShield is currently available in limited sizes with additional sizes scheduled for availability in Q1 2015.
“ClearShield is a brand new option to traditional leaded glass or lead acrylic shielding materials. We are pleased to bring such a great example of innovation to market,” said Dr. Clark Turner, Founder and CEO of Turner MedTech. “The new ClearShield acrylic sheets are shatter resistant, transparent, and an excellent material for machining and rapid customization wherever x-ray shielding is required.”
Turner noted that ClearShield provides an outstanding new solution for remote or portable x-ray and other medical and dental x-ray device shielding applications. In addition ClearShield is an excellent option for nuclear, government, military and industrial labs. Architects will find this a very important alternative for their facility design applications as well.
