                    FURON COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL TENDER OFFER


         Laguna Niguel, CA -- January 3, 1997 -- Furon Company (NYSE:FCY)
announced today that its tender offer for any and all of the outstanding common
shares, including associated common share purchase rights, of Medex, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MDEX) was completed with the expiration of the tender offer at 
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, January 2, 1997.

         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. A total of 5,380,092 common shares of Medex, including
notices of guaranteed delivery, were tendered and not withdrawn in the tender
offer. The tendered shares, after taking into account the shares that certain
of Medex's directors and officers are selling to Medex, constitute
approximately 94% of the total outstanding common shares of Medex and will
enable Furon to effect the merger of Medex on a so-called "short form" basis
(i.e., without a vote of its shareholders).

         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 five key markets: industrial process, transportation,
electronics, capital goods and healthcare. Furon had sales of $345 million for
its fiscal year ended February 3, 1996.
