                      FURON EXTENDS TENDER OFFER FOR MEDEX

        Laguna Niguel, CA  --  December 19, 1996  --  Furon Company (NYSE:FCY)
announced today that it has extended its tender offer for any and all of the
outstanding common shares, including associated common share purchase rights,
of Medex, Inc. (Nasdaq:MDEX) until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, Thursday,
January 2, 1997, unless the tender offer is further extended. Furon stated that
it does not intend to further extend the tender offer as long as at the
expiration it beneficially owns 90% or more of Medex's outstanding shares and
the conditions to its obligation to complete the tender offer remain satisfied.
The tender offer was last scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
Thursday, December 19, 1996. All other terms and conditions of the tender offer
remain unchanged.

        Furon commenced the tender offer to purchase any and all outstanding
common shares, including associated common share purchase rights, of Medex at a
price of $23.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest
thereon, on November 15, 1996. As of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
Thursday, December 19, 1996, a total of 5,114,054 common shares of Medex,
including notices of guaranteed delivery, had been tendered and not withdrawn.
The tendered shares, together with the shares which commencing January 2, 1996
certain of Medex's directors and officers have agreed to either tender pursuant
to the tender offer or sell to Medex, constitute approximately 90% of the
total outstanding common shares of Medex and would enable Furon to effect the
merger of Medex following the completion of the tender offer on a so-called
"short form" basis (i.e., without a vote of its shareholders). [The foregoing
reference to 90% was misstated as 82.3% in the previous press release.]

        Medex, based in Hilliard, Ohio, had sales of $99.3 million for its
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The company manufactures polymer based
critical care products and infusion systems for medical and surgical
applications.

        Furon, a leading international manufacturer of engineered polymer
components, serves a number of industries, including health care. Furon had
sales of $345 million for its fiscal year ended February 3, 1996.
