          ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER.

               The first paragraph of Item 1 of the Initial Schedule 13D
          is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

               This statement covers a total of 2,492,224 fully diluted
          shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common
          Stock"), of Q-Med, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). 
          The Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2 hereof) as of the
          date hereof hold an aggregate of (i) 1,315,363 shares of Common
          Stock (the "Common Shares"), (ii) $950,000 principal amount of
          Convertible Notes of the Issuer (the "Notes"), which as of
          the date hereof are convertible into an aggregate of 568,861
          shares of Common Stock, and (iii) warrants for the purchase of
          607,999 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"), which as of the
          date hereof may be exercised for an aggregate of 607,999 shares
          of Common Stock.  The Common Shares, Notes and Warrants are
          referred to herein, collectively, as the "Securities".

          
          ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

               Item 3 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended to 
          read in its entirety as follows:

               The funds for the acquisition of the Common Shares were
          allocated from the working capital of the Partnership Reporting
          Persons and were not obtained by means of a loan or other
          borrowing arrangement.

               The Common Shares were acquired by the Partnership Reporting
          Persons at a purchase price of $1.67 per share for an aggregate 
          amount of $1,000,000 in cash plus the exchange of approximately 
          $1,200,000 amount of principal and accrued interest on Notes of 
          the Issuer held by them.  The Warrants, which are exercisable at 
          a price equal to the average of the market price of the Issuer's 
          common stock for the ten trading days following issuance, were 
          issued as partial consideration for the exchange by the Partnership
          Reporting Persons of the aforesaid convertible notes held by them.  
          Each of the Partnership Reporting Persons paid its pro rata share 
          of the acquisition price of the Common Shares based upon the number 
          of Common Shares it received.
