(1)   In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933,
      as amended, this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate
      amount of interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the employee
      benefit plan described herein.

(2)   The shares covered by this Registration Statement represent shares of
      Common Stock which have become available for issuance under the
      Registrant's 1993 Stock Option Plan as a result of amendments approved
      by the stockholders at the Registrant's Annual Meetings held on May
      21, 1998 and May 20, 1999 increasing the number of shares for issuance
      thereunder by 400,000 and 750,000 shares, respectively. Also covered
      by this Registration Statement are 399,847 shares of Common Stock
      available for issuance under the Registrant's 1993 Stock Option Plan
      which were previously unregistered.

(3)   Calculated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Act solely for the
      purpose of calculating the total registration fee.  The calculation is
      based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock
      as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on September 23, 1999
      because the price at which the options to be granted in the future may
      be exercised is not currently determinable.

     Re:     Registration Statement on Form S-8
             ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 28, 1999 (the
"Registration Statement") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the 1993 Stock Option Plan (as to
1,549,847 shares), (the "Plan").  As legal counsel for Fusion Medical
Technologies, Inc., we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar
with the proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with the
issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Plan.

     It is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in the manner
described in the Plan and pursuant to the agreement that accompanies each grant
under the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully-paid and non-
assessable.

     We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.


                                  Very truly yours,

                                  WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI

                     CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-________) pertaining to the 1993 Stock
