                                  THE COMPANY

          The Company has been primarily engaged in the design, development,
manufacturing and marketing of wound closure products for use in the medical
industry, including, without limitation, suture products and

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
bonewax.  Suture products include sutures (a product consisting of suture
material attached to a surgical needle) and ligatures (suture material not
attached to a surgical needle).  Suture materials are made from silk, catgut and
other similar materials.  Bonewax is a product used to temporarily seal severed
bones during surgery.  The Company markets its products for general surgery
applications, including for use in oral and veterinary surgery, and for
specialty surgery applications, including for use in plastic, ophthalmic and
cardiovascular surgery.

          In March, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of the following three
product lines of Ulster Scientific, Inc. of New Paltz, New York:  (i) lancets,
including needles and accessories, (ii) dispettes and (iii) infection control
kits.  Lancets are finger-prick devices used to draw small amounts of blood,
primarily to test glucose levels.  Dispettes are disposable diagnostic devices
used primarily in physicians' offices to test blood.  Infection control kits
contain various items used in medical and scientific facilities to clean up
blood and other bodily fluid spills.

          The Company's executive offices are located at 3820 Academy Parkway
North, N.E., Albuquerque, New Mexico  87109, and its telephone number is (505)
342-9638.

                                 RISK FACTORS

          The securities offered hereby involve a high degree of risk,
including, but not limited to, the risk factors described below. Each
prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors
inherent in and affecting the business of the Company and this offering before
making an investment decision.

          PAST OPERATING LOSSES; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT; FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING
RESULTS; UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY.  Until its most recent fiscal
year, the Company had incurred losses (or, in one year, nominal profits) from
operations.  The Company has also historically experienced fluctuations in its
operating results arising from fluctuations in sales to a number of major
customers, as well as variations in operating costs.  At December 31, 1995, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.4 million.  The
Company's financial performance could limit its ability to attract additional
financing, to compete effectively and to expand its operations.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will achieve significantly increased revenues or will
be profitable in the future as expenses for development activities, marketing
and manufacturing may not be offset by revenues.  Future operating results will
depend on many factors, including the level of competition, the Company's
ability to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements and the Company's ability
to develop or acquire new products and technologies and control costs.

          DEPENDENCE ON DISTRIBUTORS; LIMITED MARKETING CAPABILITY.  The
Company's products are marketed primarily through a number of exclusive and non-
exclusive distributors and manufacturers of complementary products, and the
Company is substantially dependent on its arrangements with such third parties
to generate product revenues.  The loss of any of its major distributors, in the
absence of substantially similar replacement arrangements, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business.

          DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CUSTOMERS.  During 1995 and 1994, two customers
accounted for 24% and 30% of the Company's revenues, respectively.  The loss of
major customers or the inability to expand the Company's customer base could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

          DEPENDENCE ON THIRD PARTIES FOR KEY COMPONENTS AND SUPPLIES.  The
Company is dependent on various foreign and domestic suppliers and other
entities for the components of the products which it manufactures and markets.
Although the Company believes that there are a number of alternative sources for
most of its product components, certain of such components are obtained from a
single source or a limited number of suppliers.  The loss of any significant
supplier, in the absence of a timely and satisfactory alternative arrangement,
could adversely effect the Company.  In addition, the Company could be adversely
affected by delays in delivery or an inability to obtain products from
manufacturers and suppliers.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
          DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN SUPPLIERS; RISKS OF FOREIGN SALES.  The Company
obtains supplies from a number of foreign suppliers and markets its products
internationally.  The Company may be subject to various import duties applicable
to materials manufactured in foreign countries and, in addition, may be affected
by various other import and export restrictions, as well as other considerations
or developments impacting upon international trade, including economic or
political instability, shipping delays and product quotas.   These international
trade factors will, under certain circumstances, have an impact both on the cost
of components (which will, in turn, have an impact on the cost to the Company of
the manufactured product) and the wholesale and retail prices of the products.
To the extent that transactions relating to the purchase of components and
materials or the sale of products involve currencies other than United States
dollars, the operating results of the Company will be affected by fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates.

          RISKS OF ACQUISITIONS.  The Company has stated a goal of acquisitions
of businesses or product lines compatible with the Company's business.  While
the Company continually evaluates possible acquisition opportunities, there can
be no assurance that the Company will ultimately effect any acquisitions, which
could adversely affect the Company's prospects, or that the Company will be able
to successfully integrate into its operations any businesses which it may
acquire or successfully market any products acquired.  In addition, to the
extent that the Company may, from time to time, depending on the opportunities
available to it, fund its acquisitions with a combination of cash and equity
securities, any such issuance of the Company's equity securities could result in
dilution to the interests of the Company's then outstanding stockholders.

          GOVERNMENT REGULATION.  The Company's products and operations are
subject to the regulations of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (the "FDA")
governing medical devices and of comparable regulatory agencies in certain
foreign countries.  United States regulatory requirements promulgated under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FD&C Act") provide that the majority
of the Company's products for human use may not be shipped in interstate
commerce (or for export) without prior authorization from the FDA.   Such
authorization is based on review of the products' safety and effectiveness for
their intended uses.  Depending on the nature of the product, such authorization
can require the submission of significant quantities of information to establish
safety and effectiveness, and can take anywhere from several months to several
years.  Although the Company believes it has the necessary authorization to
market all of its current products, delays or difficulties in obtaining
necessary authorization for the commercialization of products developed or
acquired by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business and prospects.  The FDA also regulates the promotion of medical device
products (except for advertisements for nonrestricted devices, which are
regulated by other authorities).  In addition, the Company is subject to certain
registration, recordkeeping, manufacturing and reporting requirements and is
subject to periodic FDA inspection.  Future changes in regulations or
enforcement policies could impose more stringent requirements on the Company,
compliance with which could adversely affect the Company's business.  Failure to
comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement
action including withdrawal of marketing authorization, injunction, seizure of
products, and liability for civil and/or criminal penalties, any of which could
have an adverse injunction, effect on the Company.

          RISK OF GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING.  To date, a significant portion of the
Company's revenues have been derived from sales to the United States government.
To the extent the Company continues to market its products to the government it
could be subject to special risks, including delays in funding, lengthy review
processes for awarding contracts, non-renewal, delay, termination, reduction or
modification of contracts in the event of changes in the government's policies
or as a result of budgetary constraints, all of which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

          DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  The Company's success depends upon the
continued contributions of John H. Robinson and Robert S. Huffstodt, Chairman of
the Board, and President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, as well as
certain of its other executive officers and technical personnel.  The
competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of services of
certain key personnel could adversely affect the business of the Company.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
          PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  The Company relies primarily on trade
secret laws to protect its technologies and innovations.  There can be no
assurance that trade secrets will be established, that secrecy obligations in
effect for its employees, distributors and suppliers will be honored or that
others will not independently develop similar or superior technology.  To the
extent that key employees or other third parties apply technology information
independently developed by them or by others to Company projects, disputes may
arise as to the proprietary rights to such information which may not be resolved
in favor of the Company.  There is no assurance that the Company's products will
not infringe patents or other rights owned by others, licenses to which may not
be available to the Company.  Moreover, there can be no assurance that the
Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or
defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation.  In addition, if
the Company's products are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary
rights of others, the Company could, under certain circumstances, become liable
for damages which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company.

          COMPETITION.  The Company faces intense competition in the design,
development and marketing its products.  Most of the Company's competitors have
substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company.
The Company believes that to remain competitive in the general surgery market it
will be necessary to remain a low-cost producer.  There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in this regard.

          POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY.  The testing and use of the Company's
products entails an inherent risk of medical complications to patients and
resultant product liability claims.  While the Company presently maintains
product liability insurance in the aggregate amounts of $2 million per
occurrence and per year, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to continue to obtain such insurance in the future or that such insurance will
be sufficient to cover all possible liabilities.   In the event of a successful
suit against the Company or one of its customers, lack or insufficiency of
insurance coverage could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

          AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK.  The Company's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock with
such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time
by the Board of Directors.  Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered,
without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the
voting power or other rights of the holders of the Company's Common Stock.  In
the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain
circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in
control of the Company.  Although the Company has no present intention to issue
any shares of such "blank check" preferred stock, there can be no assurance that
the Company will not do so in the future.

          DIVIDEND POLICY.  To date, the Company has not paid cash dividends on
its capital stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its
Common Stock in the foreseeable future.  In addition, the Company's agreement
with its institutional lender contains restrictions on the Company's ability to
pay dividends.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

          The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares
offered by the Selling Stockholders hereby.  All such proceeds will be received
by the Selling Stockholders.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          Sales of the Shares offered hereby may be made on NASDAQ/SmallCap, the
Pacific Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and
on terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price,
or in negotiated transactions.

          The Shares may be sold in (a) a block trade in which the broker or
dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, (b)
transactions in which a broker or dealer acts as principal and resells the
Shares for its account pursuant to this Prospectus, (c) an exchange distribution
in accordance with the rules of such exchange, and (d) ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases.  In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate.  Certain Selling
Stockholders also may, from time to time, authorize underwriters acting as their
agents to offer and sell Shares upon such terms and conditions as shall be set
forth in any prospectus supplement.  Underwriters, brokers or dealers will
receive commissions or discounts from Selling Stockholders in amounts to be
negotiated immediately prior to sale.  Such underwriters, brokers or dealers and
any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales and any
discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on
the resale of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.

          There is no assurance that any of the Selling Stockholders will offer
for sale or sell any or all of the Shares covered by this Prospectus.
