                           [KENSEY NASH LETTERHEAD]


                              November 27, 1996




To All Kensey Nash Stockholders:

  This letter serves to notify all the stockholders of Kensey Nash Corporation
of changes to the Company's Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 30, 1996.

  The Summary Compensation Table on page 6 of the Proxy Statement erroneously
presented bonuses earned during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 by each of
the Company's four officers as bonuses earned during the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996.  There were no bonuses earned by such officers for fiscal 1996.  All
bonuses presented on the fiscal 1996 line within the Summary Compensation Table
should appropriately be presented on the fiscal 1995 line, consistent with the
Company's Form S-1, declared effective by the SEC on December 13, 1995.  This
topic was also discussed in the Report of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors.  All bonuses discussed in such Report as earned in fiscal
1996 should appropriately read as earned in fiscal 1995.

  Also, in the Other Annual Compensation column of the Summary Compensation
Table, due to a typographical error, the information for Joseph W.  Kaufmann
referred to Footnote (1), but should refer to Footnote (2).

  Following is the corrected Summary Compensation Table:

                EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

$100,000 during fiscal year 1996 (each, a "Named Executive Officer).
