          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented 
herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions 
to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures 
required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These condensed 
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the  
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 
annual report on form 10-K filing for the year ended March 31, 1996.  The 
accompanying financial statements have not been examined by independent 
accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in 
the opinion of management such financial statements include all adjustments 
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the Company's financial position and results of operations.  The results of 
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996, may not be indicative of 
the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 1997.

NOTE 2

     On July 15, 1996 the Company merged with 4-Health, Inc.  The merger was 
recorded as a reverse purchase.  As part of the merger the common stock of 
the Company was reverse split 2 for 4.  The effect of the reverse stock split 
have been retroactively applied to the financial statements presented.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Surgical will continue as the surviving 
corporate entity, with its name changed to "4Health, Inc."  4Health was 
organized in February 1993, and formulates and supplies nutritional supplements
which are available nationwide through health food stores, pharmacies and 
health care providers.

     The Merger Agreement between Surgical and 4Health provided for the merger 
of 4Health with and into the Company, pursuant to which: (a) the shares of 
4Health common stock and the shares of 4Health Series A preferred stock
were exchanged for approximately 9,000,000 shares of Surgical Common Stock, 
(b) each four shares of Surgical common stock issued and outstanding were 
converted into two shares of Surgical common stock (or 2,271,108 shares) and 
one warrant to purchase a share of the surviving corporation (the "Surviving 
Corporation") common stock at $11.00 per share (or 1,135,554 total shares), 
(c) the board of directors of Surgical, as the Surviving Corporation, was 
reconstituted to include five designees of 4Health and two designees of 
Surgical, and (d) the articles of incorporation of Surgical were amended
to (i) change its name to "4Health, Inc.," (ii) increase the authorization of 
New Common Stock to 30,000,000 shares, (iii) add a "fair price" provision in 
the event of certain corporate transactions, and (iv) restrict the use of 
written consents of stockholders in lieu of meetings.  The warrants may be 
redeemed by the Surviving Corporation at $0.01 per warrant, provided that the 
trading price of the underlying Common Stock equals $13.75 per share for 30 
consecutive days.

     Outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 651,000 shares of 
Surgical common stock at a weighted average price of $2.23 per share were 
converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 325,000 shares of Surgical 
common stock, at a weighted average price of $4.45 per share.  In addition, 
outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 599,999 shares of 4Health 
common stock at a weighted average price of $6.70 per share were converted 
into options to purchase an aggregate of 902,800 shares of Surgical common 
stock at a weighted average price of $4.45 per share.

     The number of shares of Surgical common stock issuable to the holders of 
4Health common stock and Series A preferred stock is subject to adjustment in 
the event that the Surviving Corporation does not realize at least $2,000,000
in earnings, before interest and income taxes, computed in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles from exploitation of Surgical's ID 
Technology, the sale of products based on its ID Technology, or joint venture 
income based on the ID Technology by increasing the number of shares of 
Surgical common stock issuable to the former 4Health stockholders, on a pro 
rata basis based on the number of shares of Surgical common stock issued to 
them in the merger,

NOTE 2 (Continued)

in an amount equal to the quotient calculated by dividing (a) the amount by 
which $2,000,000 exceeds the ID Technology earnings by b $4.00.

     The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting 
wherein the related assets and liabilities of the Company will be adjusted to 
reflect their estimated fair market values at the effective date of the merger. 
The merger will be treated for accounting purposes as a reverse merger 
wherein 4Health will be treated as the acquiring entity because 4Health's 
current stockholders will control the Surviving Corporation.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is 
based on the June 30, 1996, historical consolidated balance sheets of Surgical 
and its subsidiaries contained elsewhere herein and 4Health.  The unaudited pro
forma condensed statement of operations is based on 4Health's historical 
statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996, adjusted 
for management's estimate of Surgical's normal operations as if the merger 
had occurred April 1, 1996, because the majority of Surgical's operations 
have been sold.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial 
statements give effect to the transaction using the purchase method of 
accounting, with 4Health treated as the acquiring entity for financial 
reporting purposes.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet 
presenting the financial position of the Surviving Corporation assumes the 
purchase occurred as of June 30, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma condensed 
combined statement of operations presents the results of operations of the 
Surviving Corporation, assuming the Merger was completed on April 1, 1996.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been 
prepared by management of Surgical and 4Health based on the financial 
statements included elsewhere herein.  The pro forma adjustments include certain
assumptions and preliminary estimates as discussed in the accompanying notes 
and are subject to change.  These pro forma statements may not be indicative 
of the results that actually would have occurred if the combination had been 
in effect on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future.  
These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
accompanying notes and with historical financial information of both Surgical 
and 4Health (including the notes thereto) included in the Joint Proxy 
Statement/Prospectus dated June 27, 1996.

  Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements


     1.   General

     Surgical has not yet performed a detailed evaluation and appraisal of 
the fair market value of the net assets sold in order to allocate the purchase 
price among the assets sold.  For purposes of preparing these pro forma 
financial statements, certain assumptions set forth in the notes to the pro 
forma adjustments have been made in allocating the sales price to the net 
assets sold.  As such, the pro forma adjustments discussed below are subject 
to change based on final determination of the fair market value of the assets 
and liabilities of Surgical.

     2.   Fiscal Year Ends

     4Health has a year end of December 31.  The unaudited pro forma condensed 
statements of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, have been shown 
as if 4Health had a fiscal year end of March 31 and therefore no calendar
year to date information has been presented.

     3.   Pro Forma Adjustments

     The adjustments to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined
 balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, are described below:

          (A)  Reclassification of merger costs to stockholders' equity.

          (B)  Adjustment to reflect goodwill, calculated based on the closing 
bid price of Surgical Stock for the 20 day period prior to the announcement 
of the signing of the letter of intent with 4Health, less the estimated fair 
market value of the net assets of Surgical to be acquired in the Merger.  
Since the majority of the net assets of Surgical consist of cash, marketable 
securities, and short-term receivables, all of which approximate current fair 
value, the excess purchase price has been recorded as goodwill which will be 
amortized over 15 years.

          (C)  Record the Merger by converting 4Health Common Stock, 4Health 
Series A Stock, and Surgical Stock to newly issued shares of New common Stock, 
par value $0.01 per share.

     The adjustment to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined 
statement of operations as of June 30, 1996, are described below:

          (A)  The income and expense items reflect management's estimate of 
the effect of the continuing operation of Surgical's ID Technology business 
after the completion of the merger.

          (B)  There is $5,582 amortization of goodwill related to the Merger 
included in this item.  The amortization is based upon a 15 year estimated life.














             ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                                               
General
     This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's 
Discussion and analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in 
the Registrant's annual report on form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1996.

Results of Operations
     During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, revenues decreased approximately 
$470,000 compared to the first quarter of the prior year.  The decrease is 
primarily the result of the sale of the drape and pack divisions of the 
medical products segment during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.

     Cost of revenues during the first quarter of the current fiscal year 
increased as a percent of sales primarily due to the amortization of 
intangibles.
  
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $145,000 over the 
prior year first quarter.  The decrease in administrative expense is in part 
the result of cost cutting measures implemented during the later part of the 
prior year and reduced administrative expenses resulting from the sale of the 
drape and pack business.
  
     The net income during the first quarter of 1995 included a gain of 
$60,000 from the sale of surplus land (which is the majority of the $89,000 
net other income).  Other income for the first quarter of 1996 reflects 
decreased interest expense and an increase in interest income due to the 
reduction of debt and interest earnings on cash balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     The Company's liquidity and capital resources improved during the first 
quarter.  Current assets increased $514,000 while current liabilities decreased 
$848,000 for a net increase in working capital of $1,362,000.  The improvement 
in working capital is primarily the result of the sale of property and 
equipment and the use of the proceeds to pay off current liabilities.

     Operating activities used $303,000 in cash during the quarter ended June 
30, 1996 compared to such activities using $674,000 in the comparable period 
of the preceding year.  During the quarter, the majority of the changes in the 
use of operating cash was the result of the Company decreasing inventory by 
$83,000, accounts receivable by $121,000 and increasing accounts payable and 
accrued expenses by $113,000.

     Investing activities provided net cash of $988,000 primarily from the 
payments received on notes receivable from previous asset sales.

     Financing activities used net cash of $351,000 primarily in the reduction 
of $961,000 of the long-term debt.  The Issuance of common stock provided 
$610,000 cash. 

                                 PART II
                            OTHER INFORMATION

   (b)  During the quarter for which this report is filed, no reports have 
been filed on form 8-K.
