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

                  The 225,064  shares of the Common  Stock  beneficially  owned,
                  directly or indirectly, by the Reporting Persons were acquired
                  by the Reporting  Persons  pursuant to a statutory merger (the
                  "Merger"),  whereby CardioDyne,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation
                  ("CardioDyne"), was merged with and into Luxtec CD Acquisition
                  Co.,  Inc.,  a  Massachusetts  corporation  and the  Company's
                  wholly-owned subsidiary ("Acquirer").  Acquirer, which was the
                  surviving  corporation,  changed its name to CardioDyne,  Inc.
                  upon the  effectiveness of the Merger.  In the Merger,  all of
                  the  issued  and   outstanding   shares  of  common  stock  of
                  CardioDyne were exchanged for 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
                  and   certain   additional   consideration.   The  Merger  was
                  consummated  pursuant  to an  Agreement  of Merger and Plan of
                  Reorganization  dated as of June 28,  1995,  by and  among the
                  Company, CardioDyne,  Acquirer and Paul Epstein and Patrick G.
                  Phillips   as   Representatives   of  the  former   CardioDyne
                  stockholders  (the "Merger  Agreement").  As  stockholders  of
                  CardioDyne,  the Reporting Persons received the 225,064 shares
                  of  Common  Stock in  exchange  for  966,665  shares of common
                  stock, $0.01 par value per share, of CardioDyne,  beneficially
                  owned, directly or indirectly, by the Reporting Persons.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:

                  All of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D
                  were purchased for investment purposes. Pursuant to the Merger
                  Agreement,  the former  stockholders of CardioDyne  (including
                  the  Reporting  Persons) are  entitled to an earn-out  payment
                  equal  to  five  percent  (5%)  of the  net  revenue,  if any,
                  attributable  to sales of a certain  non-invasive,  continuous
                  blood pressure  monitor,  which has yet to, and may never,  be
                  developed.  Each former  stockholder of CardioDyne  (including
                  the Reporting  Persons) will receive their pro rata portion of
                  such earn-out payment, if any, fifty percent (50%) in cash and
                  fifty percent  (50%) in shares of Common Stock.  Additionally,
                  pursuant to the Merger,  the Board of Directors of the Company
                  was  increased  from  five (5) to seven (7)  persons,  and Mr.
                  Phillipps,   formerly  a  Director   and  the   President   of
                  CardioDyne,   became  a  Director   and  Vice   President   of
                  Engineering  of the  Company.  Other  than the  Merger and the
                  foregoing  events  in  connection  therewith,   the  Reporting
                  Persons do not have any present plans or proposals which would
                  relate to or result in any of the events or actions  described
                  in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER:

                                                   Number           Ownership
                           Stockholder            Of Shares         Percentage

                           Patrick G. Phillipps     118,159             4.8%
                           Janice Phillipps         106,905             4.4%
                                                   ---------           ------
                                                     225,064             9.2%


                           Mr. Phillipps disclaims  beneficial  ownership as to
                           all of the 106,905 shares of Common Stock  held  of
                           record  by  his  wife,  Janice  Phillipps.   Mrs.  
                           Phillipps  disclaims beneficial  ownership as to all
                           of the 118,159  shares of Common Stock held of record
                           by her husband, Patrick G. Phillipps.

                  (b)      The  Reporting  Persons  may be deemed to have shared
                           investment  and voting  power with  respect to all of
                           the  shares  of  Common  Stock  beneficially   owned,
                           directly and indirectly, by them.

                  (c)      None, other than the Merger described in Item 3 
                           above.

receive or the power to direct the receipt of  dividends  from,  or the proceeds
from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D.

                  (e)      Not applicable.


ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
                  WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER :

                  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, fifteen percent (15%) of the
