                     IMAGYN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. FILES
                             PLAN OF REORGANIZATION


NEWPORT BEACH, CA, June 25, 1999 - Imagyn Medical Technologies, Inc. (OTC/BB:
IMTI) announced today it has filed a Plan of Reorganization in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The filing was made in connection
with the Company's petition on May 18, 1999 for reorganization under Chapter 11.

        The proposed Plan contemplates that the Company's existing secured
creditors will be paid in full over time from the Company's future revenues or
from the proceeds of replacement financing that the Company must obtain. Trade
creditors who agree to continue to provide goods and services on normal trade
terms will be paid in cash in full, as will the Company's employees with
priority claims for pre-petition wages and employee benefits. Other trade
creditors, and the holders of the Company's $110 million in 12.5% Senior
Subordinated Notes, will receive new common stock representing 88% of the equity
in the reorganized Company. The balance of the equity will be held by management
and certain other creditors. Management will also receive options to purchase
additional equity based upon the future performance of the Company.

        The Plan is based upon an agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston
Management Corporation (CSFB), which holds a majority of the Company's 12.5%
Senior Subordinated Notes and which also holds certain secured claims against
Imagyn. It is anticipated that, upon confirmation, CSFB will own or control
approximately 75% of the equity in the reorganized Company.

        Holders of the Company's 8.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, as
well as holders of currently outstanding common stock, warrants, options or
stock rights will not receive any property for these interests.

        The Company anticipates that the plan will be considered for approval by
the Bankruptcy Court in September.

        Charles A. Laverty, Imagyn's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,
"We are pleased to report significant progress toward our goal of developing a
Plan of Reorganization that can provide Imagyn with a more stable financial
structure. The Plan we have proposed has the support of the holders of a
majority of the Company's debt."

        Imagyn Medical Technologies, Inc. is a designer, manufacturer and
