           NMT MEDICAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2000 FINANCIAL RESULTS
           ----------------------------------------------------------


HIGHLIGHTS:
- -----------
 .  Q1 revenues increased 29% to $10.0 million vs. $7.8 million in Q1 1999.
 .  Q1 EBITDA was $663,000 vs. $27,000 in Q1 1999.
 .  Company reported Q1 2000 net income per share of $0.01 compared to a loss of
   $0.05 in Q1 1999.
 .  CardioSEALTM Septal Occluder product line had second straight record quarter;
   Simon Nitinol Filter had strongest quarter ever.


BOSTON, MA, MAY 10, 2000 -- NMT Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq/NMS:NMTI) today announced
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000.  Revenues for the first
quarter increased 29% to $10.0 million as compared to $7.8 million in the first
quarter of 1999. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(EBITDA) for the first quarter was $663,000 as compared to $27,000 in the first
quarter of 1999.  Net income for the first quarter improved significantly to
$68,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss of $535,000, or $0.05 per share,
for the same period last year.  First quarter results for 2000 were reduced by a
non-recurring charge associated with the recent resignation of Tom Tully, the
former CEO of NMT Medical.  The Company took a $400,000 charge for contractual
obligations under Mr. Tully's employment agreement and the recruiting fees for
the CEO search which is currently in progress.  Excluding these charges, the
Company had $1.1 million of EBITDA in the first quarter and net income of
$468,000, or $0.04 per share.

Commenting on today's news, William J. Knight, Chief Financial Officer of NMT
Medical, said, "NMT's results for the first quarter of 2000 reflect significant
progress for the Company and are an endorsement of our recently stated desire to
focus on what we do best - developing and commercializing minimally invasive
devices targeted at interventional cardiology and radiology.
<PAGE>

Evidence of this is the fact that unit sales of both the CardioSEAL(TM) Septal
Occluder and Simon Nitinol Filter (SNF) rose considerably this past quarter.  In
fact, revenues from these products were up approximately 26% and 30%,
respectively from the fourth quarter of 1999."

Mr. Knight continued, "It is clear that the momentum for our CardioSEAL Septal
Occluder (a minimally invasive device designed to close holes in the heart) is
growing daily. There are now over 50 interventional cardiology centers in the
U.S. using, or are about to begin using the CardioSEAL. Another 75 are in the
Internal Review Board process to gain approval to begin implanting the device.
The success of the procedure and acceptance of the device by the medical
community is also evidenced by the fact that we have received reorders from most
of the centers that began implanting the devices. We expect that there will be
at least 100 centers utilizing the CardioSEAL device on patients by the end of
this year. Our U.S. target market comprises approximately 400-500 interventional
cardiology centers."

Paul Kramer, MD,  one of the nation's leading interventional cardiologists from
the Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, adds that, "We had been
anxiously awaiting the approval of CardioSEAL in order to add it to our Stroke
Program as a definitive therapy for selected PFO patients with embolic stroke.
Since its approval, our referrals for this therapy have grown exponentially.  It
has become a major element of our program in a short period of time."   Dr.
Kramer indicates that his program is now doing 3 - 4 procedures per week.  "Our
Neurologists have been extremely supportive of the program, and I believe that
every Stroke program of any significant size will want to... need to, add this
important new form of therapy."

The Company also announced the expansion of its interim management team through
the creation of the Office of the Chief Executive with John Fletcher and Jeffrey
Jay, M.D., Directors of the Company, and the Office of the President, with Rudy
Davis and Bill Knight, who hold the positions of Vice President of Sales &
Marketing and Vice President Finance & CFO, respectively.  The Board also
announced the establishment of a Managing Director position to be filled by
Leonard Gordon who will focus on corporate development activities.

"We are continuing to pursue the hiring of a permanent CEO to lead the Company's
strong management team", commented John Fletcher.  "We believed that it was
necessary at this time to expand the executive leadership of NMT."

NMT Medical designs, develops and markets innovative medical devices that
utilize advanced technologies and are delivered by minimally invasive
procedures.  The Company's products are designed to offer alternative approaches
to existing complex treatments, thereby reducing patient trauma, shortening
procedure, hospitalization and recovery times, and lowering overall treatment
costs.  The Company's medical devices include self-expanding stents, vena cava

needs of neurosurgeons with a range of implantable and disposable products,
