MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total consolidated revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 increased
46% to $1,247,000 from $856,000 for the prior year's quarter.  Catheter product
sales increased by 48% to $1,227,000 from $827,000 for the same period last
year.  Sales to U.S. distributors contributed $966,000, a 124% increase from
revenues of $431,000 during last year's quarter.  Catheter sales to
international distributors were $161,000 compared to $202,000, due to back-
orders of $105,000 for the Company's Japanese distributor, as of December 31,
1996, which will be shipped prior to February 28, 1997.  OEM sales were $100,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, compared to $162,000 for the prior
year's quarter.  The decrease is primarily due to a change in the relationship
with Pertrach Inc. ("Pertrach"), a former OEM customer.  OEM sales to Pertrach
were $3,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 1996, compared to $40,000
during last year's quarter. In March 1996, the Company signed an agreement with
Pertrach for the purchase of its patents, trademarks and certain assets.  The
Company has manufactured tracheostomy products for Pertrach for many years and
will now be responsible for the marketing of these products as well.  Future
sales will be reported as a separate category.  Interest income decreased by
$12,621 while royalty income increased by $3,400.  For the first six months of
fiscal year 1997, total consolidated revenues increased over last year's period
by 56% to $2,380,000.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of net sales for three months ended December
31, 1996, remained at 58%.  For the first six months of fiscal year 1997, cost
of revenues were 58% as compared to 55%  for the same period last year.  Cost of
revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 1996, includes a non-
recurring expense of $49,000, related to the modification of the Company's
quality assurance and regulatory affairs system.  Excluding this non-recurring
item, cost of revenues would have been 54% for the quarter and 56% for the six
month period.

Selling expenses increased by $80,000 for the quarter and by $209,000 for the
six months ended December 31, 1996.  The increase for both periods is mainly
attributable to increased marketing efforts such as extensive product training
programs to support the Company's growing distributor network.  General and
administrative expenses increased by $239,000 for the quarter, and by $254,000
for the six-month period.  The increase is the result of non-recurring expenses
of $245,000 incurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 1997, when the Company
modified its internal quality assurance and regulatory affairs system.  In
October 1996, the Company engaged the services of a consulting firm specializing
in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, to assist the Company in
implementing such modifications.  The total non-recurring expense was $300,000
(allocated among cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses and
research and development expenses).

Research and development expenses increased by $18,000 for the quarter and by
$39,000 for the six-month period, of which $6,000 is related to the non-
recurring expense item.  The remaining increases are primarily the result of a
reduction in billable hours to a major OEM customer, due to a product design
change.  Management expects chargeable research and development activity to
resume in the third quarter of fiscal year 1997.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $11,000 for the quarter and
by $20,000 for the six-month period, due to purchases of injection molds.
Interest expense decreased from $3,372 and $13,237 to zero for both the quarter
and the six-month period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $3.1 million and its
principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1 million in cash and cash
equivalents.  Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended
December 31, 1996, was $537,000, mainly as the result of the net loss of
$631,000.  With respect to investing activities, the Company made purchases of
property and equipment totaling $58,000.  Financing activities provided $35,000,
resulting from sales of common stock for the exercise of stock options and
warrants.

The Company has no long-term commitments other than an annual lease obligation
of between $130,000 and $151,000 for its facilities through 1998.
