NOTE 1  The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been
        prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
        Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments which are, in the
        opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
        the interim periods presented, which adjustments consist of only normal
        recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures
        normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
        generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
        pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial statements should
        be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
        included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders. Certain
        reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements to
        conform with the current presentation.

NOTE 3  Net income per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted
        average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
        outstanding during the periods. Common stock equivalents consist of the
        shares issuable on exercise of the outstanding dilutive common stock
        options, less the shares that could have been purchased with the
        proceeds from the exercise of the options, using the treasury stock
        method.

NOTE 4  The effective tax rate differs from that computed at the federal
        statutory rate of 34 percent principally because of the effect of tax-
        exempt investment income offset by the effect of state income taxes.

     The Company sells its products to independent distributors and through
strategic supply and distribution agreements with McGaw, Inc. ("McGaw") and
Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") (the "McGaw Agreement" and the "Abbott
Agreement," respectively). Most independent distributors handle the full line of
the Company's products. McGaw and Abbott both purchase CLAVE/(R)/ products,
principally bulk, non-sterile connectors; McGaw also purchases the McGaw
Protected Needle and Abbott also purchases the Rhino, a low-priced connector
specifically designed for Abbott. Both agreements establish minimum transfer
prices which are lower than historical average selling prices, which the Company
negotiated in anticipation of significant sales, and a revenue sharing formula
under which the Company could receive more than the minimum transfer prices
based on selling prices of products incorporating the Company's products. The
McGaw Agreement provides for revenue sharing based on McGaw's selling prices of
CLAVE products and the Abbott Agreement provides for revenue sharing based on
Abbott's selling prices of both CLAVE products and Rhinos.

     Management believes the success of CLAVE has, and will continue to motivate
others to develop one piece needleless connectors which may incorporate many of
the same functional and physical characteristics as the CLAVE. The Company is
aware of a number of such products. In response to competitive pressure felt in
the third quarter of 1996, the Company in mid-October 1996 announced to its
distributors a new aggressive pricing strategy to protect and expand its market.
Under this strategy, prices to independent distributors will eventually be
reduced by up to approximately 40%, depending on the type of customer to which
the distributor is reselling the CLAVE product. The average price reduction
through the first quarter of 1997 was less than the maximum 40%, although
Management expects that the average price of its CLAVE products will continue to
decline over the next several quarters. Management expects that the price
decline will be more than offset by increased volume. However, there is no
assurance that such increased volume will be achieved, and there is no assurance
that the Company's current or future products will be able to successfully
compete with products developed by others.

Quarter Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to the Same Quarter Last Year
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales increased $816,000, or approximately 14 percent, to $6,824,000 in
the first quarter compared to $6,008,000 during the same period last year. The
increase was primarily attributable to a 9% increase in sales of CLAVE products,
and sales by the Budget Medical Products subsidiary ("BMP") and sales of the 
low-priced Rhino, both of which were negligible last year, and the recording of
an estimated $359,000 of revenue sharing due from McGaw, Inc. ("McGaw") based on
sales of its SafeLine products. Those increases were partially offset by
continuing decreases in Click Lock, Piggy Lock and McGaw Protected Needle sales.

     Net sales to McGaw, including revenue sharing, amounted to $2,788,000 in
the first quarter of 1997, as compared with $1,325,000 in the first quarter of
1996. The increase was accounted for principally by increased unit shipments of
CLAVE products, revenue sharing on CLAVE products of approximately $268,000 in
the first quarter of 1997 versus none in 1996, and estimated revenue sharing
payments due under the McGaw Agreement on McGaw's sales of its SafeLine products
of $359,000 in the first quarter of 1997; none was due in the first quarter of
1996. Those increases were offset by a 32% decrease in McGaw Protected Needle
sales because of lower unit shipments, as expected. Management expects that
overall CLAVE selling prices to McGaw will decrease through the balance of 1997,
and also expects that those decreases will cause it to receive declining amounts
of revenue sharing on CLAVE products sold to McGaw; further, there is no
assurance that McGaw's pricing in the future will result in any revenue sharing
under the formula in the McGaw Agreement. Based on McGaw's forecasts, Management
expects increases in unit shipments to McGaw to continue during the remainder of
1997, although there is no assurance that McGaw's forecasts will be realized.
Management expects that SafeLine revenue sharing payments will continue,
although it is unable to accurately forecast such amounts.

     The Company began production-quantity shipments of the Rhino to Abbott in
late 1995 and the CLAVE in the third quarter of 1996. Sales volume in the first
quarter of 1997 was $622,000, more than half of which was Rhino including
revenue sharing, as compared with sales volume of $87,000 in the first quarter
of 1996. Based on Abbott's current forecasts, Management expects higher levels
of sales to Abbott during the remainder of 1997. There is no assurance that
Abbott will be successful in promoting and selling CLAVE against its other safe
connector offerings, or against other competitors' current or future products.
Further, there is no assurance that Abbott's selling prices will in any
significant revenue sharing with the Company under the Abbott Agreement.

     Total CLAVE net sales increased approximately 9% from $4,061,000 in the
first quarter of 1996 to $4,412,000 in the first quarter of 1997. Unit shipments
of CLAVE products increased approximately 56%, substantially all of which was
accounted for by McGaw. Average selling prices decreased approximately 30% from
year-to-year. This was principally because of lower prices to independent
distributors.

     Net sales of CLAVE products to independent distributors in the first
quarter of 1997 decreased 34% from the first quarter of 1996, principally
because of lower prices. Management expects that unit sales of CLAVE products to
its independent distributors will increase for the

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
remainder of 1997, although net sales of CLAVE products to the independent
distributors may continue to decrease. Sales to the independent distributors may
be impacted by competition from existing and new competitive products or
acquisition of CLAVE market share by Abbott and McGaw. Management expects to
encounter continued pricing pressure from individual end users, but believes
that its new pricing strategy will improve its competitive position.

     Net sales of Click Lock and Piggy Lock decreased approximately 39% in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period last year. The decline is
because of the safe-connector market's continued shift to needleless technology.
Management expects the trend to continue.

     Net sales of McGaw Protected Needle decreased approximately 32% in the
first quarter this year compared to the same period last year due to lower unit
shipments. Management expects McGaw Protected Needle sales to decline for the
remainder of 1997 compared to the first quarter this year, for the same reasons
that Click Lock and Piggy Lock sales are decreasing.

     Net sales of Lopez Valve and Swiss System decreased 9% in the first quarter
compared to the same period last year due to a decrease in unit shipments.
Management expects sales of the Lopez Valve to be at the same or slightly higher
levels as in the first quarter of 1997 for the remainder of the year.

     Total sales to foreign distributors were $239,000 in the first quarter of
1997, as compared with $120,000 in the first quarter of 1996. Management expects
that its sales to foreign distributors will continue to increase in the future.

     Historically, the Company has experienced lower usage of its products in
the summer months due to lower censuses in healthcare facilities. The table
below illustrates the effect this phenomenon has on the Company's net sales:

     As illustrated above, the second and third quarters tend to be weaker than
the first and fourth. The exception is the second quarter of 1995, in which
McGaw was building significant inventory of CLAVE. The Company is attempting to
maintain sales growth through the second and third quarters, but there can be no
assurance that the efforts will be successful.

     Gross margin was 57% during the first quarter of 1997 compared to 62%
during the same period last year. Margins have come down since the first quarter
of 1996 because of decreases in selling prices and changes in the product mix as
sales of the lower margin Rhinos and bulk, non-sterile CLAVEs account for a
larger proportion of sales. In addition, BMP has had a negative impact on
margins. This is only partially offset by the McGaw SafeLine revenue sharing
payments and a decrease in unit manufacturing costs.

     Management believes that its new pricing strategy for the CLAVE may
adversely affect the gross margin percentage for several quarters, but that as
volume increases gross margin percentages should not deteriorate, and may
improve. This is because a large portion of the Company's manufacturing costs
are fixed and the Company has adequate existing fixed-asset capacity to handle
increased volumes. In addition, increasing production of CLAVE for McGaw and
Abbott could positively affect gross margins. Any such improvement could be
offset, however, by a potential shift in sales mix from independent distributors
to McGaw and Abbott at lower average selling prices. As a result, Management
does not expect margins for the full year 1997 to change significantly from
those in the first quarter, although there could be fluctuations from 
quarter-to-quarter.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to 30% of
sales during the first quarter of 1997 compared to 25% during the same period
last year. Included in SG&A are product development costs that were
approximately 5% of net sales in 1997 as compared to 2% in the first quarter of
1996. The balance of the increase was from increased sales and marketing costs.

     Patent litigation costs in which the Company is the plaintiff were
approximately 1% of net sales in the first quarter of each year. Management
expects such costs to increase after the first quarter, but the amount of any
increase will depend on the progress of the litigation, and that is difficult to
predict.

     Net income decreased $253,000 over the comparable period last year. While
net sales and gross profit increased 14% and 6%, respectively, the increase in
SG&A expenses resulted in a decrease in net income of 16%.


Quarter Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to the Immediately Preceding  Quarter
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Ended December 31, 1996
     -----------------------

     Net sales increased $352,000, or 5% in the first quarter of 1997 over the
$6,472,000 recorded in the last quarter of 1996, principally because of
increases in sales of McGaw Protected Needle, Rhino and BMP products, offset by
a small decrease in CLAVE sales. An increase in net sales of CLAVE products to
McGaw was offset by decreases in net sales to Abbott and independent
distributors. A significant portion of the McGaw CLAVE net sales increase
related to initial orders for a large contract. CLAVE unit sales to Abbott
decreased, following the initial shipments in the second half of 1996. CLAVE
unit sales to independent distributors increased slightly over the fourth
quarter of 1996. Management believes that a portion of the McGaw CLAVE increase
and the increases in Rhino and BMP net sales are indicative of future trends,
and that net sales to independent distributors may continue to decrease, but,
does not believe the other quarterly fluctuations are indicative of future
trends.

     The gross margin in the first quarter of 1997 was 57%, approximately the
same as the 58% gross margin recorded in the fourth quarter of 1996.

     SG&A expenses decreased in the first quarter of 1997 principally because of
a decrease in the continuing costs of patent litigation in which the Company is
the plaintiff from $689,000 in the fourth quarter of 1996 to $67,000 in the
first quarter of 1997. Management expects that such costs may increase after the
first quarter of 1997, but the amount of any increase will depend on progress of
the litigation, and that is difficult to predict.

     Net income increased $422,000, or 46% over the fourth quarter of 1996,
principally because of the lower level of patent litigation costs and higher net
sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
 
     During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents and investment securities position increased $1,414,000 to
$32,275,000.  The primary reasons for the increase were cash provided by
operating activities offset by the cost of treasury stock purchases.

     If sales of the Company's products increase, accounts receivable and
inventories are expected to increase as well.  As a result of these and other
factors, the Company's working capital requirements may increase in the
foreseeable future.

     The Company believes that its existing working capital, supplemented by
income from operations, will be sufficient for the foreseeable future.

     The Company has announced that it expects to spend up to $2 million in its
second quarter, ending June 30, 1997, to repurchase its Common Stock.  This
amount may change significantly depending on market conditions and other
factors, and the ultimate amount may be significantly more or less.  In the
second quarter, through May 2, 1997, the Company had purchased 185,900 shares at
a cost of $1,403,000.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

     The foregoing statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis
concerning beliefs or expectations for the future with respect to sales growth,
sales to particular customers, individual product sales, product pricing,
revenue sharing, seasonal sales fluctuations, factors affecting gross margins,
market shifts, competitive conditions, trends, production capacity, improvements
in production efficiency, SG&A expenses generally and specific expenses,
research and development progress and expenses, working capital, expenditures to
repurchase common stock, and other financial factors are forward looking
statements that involve a number or risks and uncertainties. The Company
cautions that, in addition to the factors described in such statements, actual
future results of operations are subject to other important factors including,
among others, the following: general economic and business conditions; the
effect of price and safety considerations on the healthcare industry;
competitive factors such as product innovation, new technologies, marketing and
distribution strength and price erosion; unanticipated market shifts and trends;
any changes in corporate strategies and practices of McGaw, Abbott and the
Company's independent distributors that might affect the resources and efforts

                                       11

that they devote to marketing the Company's products, production problems;
changes in product mix; changes in marketing strategy; the availability of
patent protection and the cost of enforcing or defending patent claims; and
other risks described from time to time in the Company's registration statements
and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 14, 1996.  Results of
operations actually achieved in the future may thus differ materially from
Management's current expectations.  The Company disclaims any obligation to
update the statements or to announce publicly the result of any revision to any
of the statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

New Accounting Pronouncement
- ----------------------------

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." As it affects
the Company under its current capital structure, it provides for the
presentation of "basic" earnings per share, which excludes the dilutive effect
of outstanding common stock options, and "diluted" earnings per share, which
includes the dilutive effect of such common stock options and is the same as
"net income per share" as currently presented by the Company. Basic and diluted
earnings per share, as calculated under SFAS No. 128, for the quarters ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 are $0.16 and $0.18, respectively, the same amounts as
presented as net income per share in the consolidated financial statements.

issuing rulings on matters of enforceability of the Company's patents that were
generally favorable to the Company.  The case remains pending and a number of
motions remain to be determined by the Court. Trial date has been scheduled for
January 1998.
