                 Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8 for the 1987
                      Kinetic Concepts, Inc. Key Contributor Stock Option Plan

Gentlemen:

         I have acted as counsel to Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the preparation for filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Registration
Statement relates to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares (the "Shares") of common
stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock").  The Shares
are issuable pursuant to the 1987 Kinetic Concepts, Inc. Key Contributor Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan).

         I have examined such corporate records, documents, instruments and
certificates of the Company as I have deemed necessary, relevant or appropriate
to enable me to render the opinion expressed herein.  In such examination, I
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all
documents, instruments, records and certificates submitted to us as copies or
originals.

         Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares will
have been duly authorized and legally issued and will constitute fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company when issued in accordance
with the Plan.
