ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THRANSACTION.

     On August 30, 1996, Isolyser Company, Inc. (the "Company")
acquired all of the outstanding securities of Microtek Medical,
Inc. ("Microtek") pursuant to a merger (the "Merger"), and
Microtek became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The
proxies (the "Proxies")  previously granted to Isolyser by
certain stockholders of Microtek to vote an aggregate of
2,364,191 shares of Microtek Common Stock pertained only to the
Microtek stockholder meeting held with respect to the Merger. 
Since this meeting was held on August 30, 1996, the Proxies have
no further effect or validity.   The Company hereby files this
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D to reflect the fact that (i) it
beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding Microtek securities,
and (ii) the Proxies have no further effect or validity.  The
original Schedule 13D filed by the Company with respect to the
Proxies, which Schedule is amended by this filing, is attached as
Annex A hereto pursuant to Rule 13d-2(c) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          On March 15, 1996, Isolyser, the Company and MMI Merger
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("MMI"), entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement").  The Agreement is filed
herewith as Exhibit 1 hereto and is hereby incorporated by
reference herein.  Upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement, the Company will become a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Isolyser and the stockholders of the Company
will receive shares of Isolyser common stock in exchange for
their current Company stockholdings.  No additional consideration
will be paid other than cash to be paid in lieu of the issuance
of fractional shares.  In connection with the execution of the
Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company have given proxies
to Isolyser to vote an aggregate of 2,364,191 shares in favor of
the approval of the merger.  The form of proxy executed is filed
as Exhibit 2 hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference
herein.  Each such stockholder is a member of, or has a
representative on, the Company's Board of Directors or is an
executive officer of the Company. 

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

          See Item 3 above.  If the merger is consummated, the
following events are expected to occur:

          (a)  Isolyser will acquire all of the outstanding
securities of the Company.

          (b)  MMI will be merged into the Company, and the
Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Isolyser.

          (c)  The current directors of the Company will cease to
be directors thereof.  Although it is currently contemplated that
management of the Company will remain in place, management of
Isolyser will have significant input into the operation of the
Company.
          
          (d)  The Certificate of Incorporation and ByLaws of the
Company following the merger will be those of MMI existing at
that time.  Although it is not currently known what provisions
such Certificate and ByLaws will contain, it is anticipated that
they will be significantly different from those of the Company
which are currently in effect.
          
          (e)  Following the merger, the Company's common stock
will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market and will become
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a) and (b)    See Items 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of
cover page.  Other than Isolyser, none of the persons
named in response to Item 2 above beneficially own any
additional securities of the Company.

          (c)  See Item 3 above.

          (d)  None.

          (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
          Relationships with Respect to the Issuer.

          See Item 3 above.  Although Isolyser has previously
entered into a joint venture with the Company with respect to the
utilization of the Company's manufacturing capacity in the
Dominican Republic to convert certain Isolyser products into
finished goods, this joint venture has not to date been material
to the results of operations of either company and in no way
relates to any securities of the Company.

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

           1.  Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 15, 1996
by and among Isolyser, the Company and MMI.
