Item 1. Security and Issuer

     This statement relates to shares of the Common Stock,  $0.10 par value (the
"Shares") of Medical  Devices,  Inc., a Minnesota  corporation  (the "Company"),
having a CUSIP  number of 584560 10 6. The  principal  executive  offices of the
Company are located at 833 Third  Street SW, St. Paul,  MN 55112.  In July 1994,
the Company changed its name to Rehabilicare, Inc.

Item 2. Identity and Background

     This  statement  is  being  filed  by  Mentor   Corporation,   a  Minnesota
corporation  ("Mentor").  Mentor  is a  manufacturer  and  marketer  of  medical
products.  The principal offices of Mentor are located at 5425 Hollister Avenue,
Santa Barbara, CA 93111.

     The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or employment
and citizenship of the executive  officers and directors of Mentor are set forth
in Schedule A hereto.

     Within the last five  years,  none of the  persons  named in this Item 2 or
listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any criminal  proceedings  (excluding
traffic  violations  or similar  misdemeanors)  or has been a party to any civil
proceeding and as a result thereof was or is subject to any judgment,  decree or
final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or  mandating
activities  subject  to,  federal  or  state  securities  laws  or  finding  any
violations with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     In 1987, the Mentor acquired  300,000 Shares as partial  consideration  for
the sale of its transcutaneous  nerve stimulator product line and related assets
to the Company.

     On November 23, 1992, Mentor purchased 125,000 Units for cash consideration
of $75,000.00  ($0.60 per Unit).  Each unit represents one Share, plus a warrant
to purchase an additional one-half Share (together,  the "Units").  The purchase
price of the additional one-half share which is subject to the warrants is $1.00
per share.  These Units were issued  pursuant to a Private  Placement of 840,000
Units.  The Units and the Common  Stock and  warrants  comprising  the Units are
"Restricted  Securities"  for  purposes  of federal and state  securities  laws.
Mentor used its own working capital funds in making such purchase and no part of
the purchase price is represented by borrowed funds. The warrants were called by
the Company in 1993. Mentor exercised its warrants, purchasing the 62,500 Shares
at $1.00 per  share for total  consideration  of  $62,500.  Mentor  used its own
working capital funds in making such purchase.

     Proceeds  from Shares sold since 1992 are as follows  (all of these  shares
came from the 1987 transaction):

                   Date           Shares         Proceeds

                  9/12/94         83,000         $207,500
                 12/16/94         45,000         $112,500
                  5/30/95         45,000         $101,244

                   Total         173,000         $421,244
<PAGE>

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     The  purpose  of  Mentor in  purchasing  Shares  is to  maintain  an equity
interest  in  the  Company  in  pursuit  of  specified   investment   objectives
established by the Board of Directors of Mentor.

     Mentor intends to review  continuously  the equity position in the Company.
Depending  upon future  evaluations  of the  business  prospects of the Company,
including,  but not limited to,  general  economic and business  conditions  and
stock market conditions, Mentor may determine to increase or decrease the equity
interest in the Company by acquiring  additional  Shares, or by disposing of all
or a portion of the Shares.

     Mentor does not have any present plan or proposal which relates to or would
result  in  (i)  an  extraordinary  corporate  transaction,  such  as a  merger,
reorganization,  liquidation, or sale or transfer of a material amount of assets
involving  the  Company  or any of its  subsidiaries,  (ii)  any  change  in the
Company's  present Board of Directors or management,  (iii) any material changes
in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any other material
changes in the Company's business or corporate structure, (iv) any change in the
Company's  charter  or  by-laws,  or (v) the  Company's  Common  Stock  becoming
eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
1934 Act.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer

     (a) Mentor  beneficially owns 314,500 Shares, or approximately  6.8% of the
outstanding shares of the Company.

     (b) Mentor has the sole power to vote,  direct the vote, and dispose of the
Shares.

     (c) Except as stated in Item 3 above and with  respects to Mr. Gette below,
neither Mentor nor, to the best knowledge of Mentor, any of the persons named in
Schedule A hereto,  effected any  transactions  in shares  during the past sixty
(60) days.

         Mr.  Anthony  Gette,  President of Mentor  Corporation,  also purchased
Units in the Private Placement,  for his own investment account. On November 23,
1992, Mr. Gette purchased 42,000 Units for cash  consideration of $25,000 ($0.60
per Unit).  Mr. Gette used his own personal funds in making such purchase and no
part of the purchase price is represented by borrowed  funds.  The warrants were
called by the Company in 1993.  Mr. Gette  exercised  his  warrants,  purchasing
21,000 Shares at $1.00 per share for total consideration of $21,000. On June 30,
1995, Mr. Gette  exercised a stock option for 2,500 Shares,  at the option price
of $1.62 per Share, for a total  consideration of $4,050. Mr. Gette used his own
personal  funds in making such  purchases  and no part of the purchase  price is
represented by borrowed funds.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer.

     Neither  Mentor nor any of the  persons  named in Schedule A hereto has any
joint venture,  finder's fee, or other  contract or arrangement  with any person
with respect to any securities of the Company.
