TO
PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 24, 1997
The statements under the captions "Prospectus Summary" (page 5), "Risk
Factors-Dependence on Certain Assemblers" (page 12), "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-General" (page 25)
and "Business-Production" (page 31) are modified as follows:
"In the first two months of 1997, the Company sold 1,777,000
difficult to reuse syringes assembled by INSERPOR, most of
which were of an alternative design to the Company's locking
clip syringe. Sales of syringes to date are not deemed
material and should neither be regarded as a material
indicator of the Company's future performance nor as an
indication of acceptance of the Company's locking clip
syringes in the world marketplace."
