    NMT MEDICAL, INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PARTIAL SALE OF ITS NEUROSCIENCES
                  PRODUCTS TO INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDING CORPORATION


BOSTON, MA, APRIL 5, 2000 -- NMT Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq/NMS: NMTI) today
announced that it has closed on the previously announced agreement to sell the
Selector(R) Ultrasonic Aspirator, Ruggles(TM) Surgical Instruments and
cryosurgery product lines of its NMT Neurosciences division, including certain
assets and liabilities, to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:
IART) for $12 million in cash. The proceeds will be used for debt reduction of
$5.9 million with the remainder for general working capital requirements.

Commenting on the news, Thomas M. Tully, President and Chief Executive Officer
of NMT Medical, said, "With the closing of this transaction we can focus more of
our management and financial resources on the higher growth and profit potential
of our cardiovascular businesses.  The Simon Nitinol Vena Filter and the
CardioSEAL(R) Septal Occluder both achieved record revenue levels during the
first quarter.  More than 45 interventional cardiology centers have received
Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for implantation of the CardioSEAL
based on our three FDA approvals under Humanitarian Use Designation regulations.
More than 90 other centers are in the process of gaining IRB approval."

Mr. Tully continued, "NMT Neurosciences will now focus away from capital
equipment sales and onto the sales of its remaining implantable products and
disposables, while reducing overall expenses. These products represented
approximately $20 million of sales in 1999."
