ITEM 9-     UNDERTAKINGS

      (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                  made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
                  statement:

                  i.    To include any prospectus required by Section 10 (a) (3)
                        of the Securities Act of 1933;

                  ii.   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                        after the effective date of the registration statement
                        (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                        which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                        fundamental change in the information set forth in the
                        registration statement; and

                  iii.  To include any additional or changed material
                        information with respect to the plan of distribution.
<PAGE>
            (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                  Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
                  shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
                  the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
                  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA
                  FIDE offering thereof.

            (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                  amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                  unsold at the termination of the offering.

      (b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
            determining liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
            Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
            Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
            benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
            Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
            statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
            relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
            securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE
            offering thereof.

      (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
            Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
            controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
            provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
            the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
            indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
            is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
            indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
            the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer,
            or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
            any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
            officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities
            being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
            counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
            to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
            indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
            Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:   MEDICAL INDUSTRIES OF AMERICA, INC. (THE "COMPANY") 
      REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have represented the Company as special securities counsel from time to time.
You have requested our opinion with respect to the shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's common stock, no par value, included in the Company's registration
statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission contemporaneously herewith pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Our opinion has been prepared and is to be construed in accor- dance with the
Report on Standards for Florida Opinions dated April 8, 1991 by the Business Law
Section of The Florida Bar (the "Report"). The Report is incorporated by
reference into our opinion.

We have examined the original or certified copies of such records of the
Company, and such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of
officers or representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents
as we deem relevant and necessary for the opinion expressed herein.

In rendering the following opinion, we have made no assumptions other than those
set forth in the Report and in this opinion. We do not express any opinion
concerning any law other than the law of Florida and the federal law of the
United States.

Based on, and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares
included in the Registration Statement, when issued and paid for as described in
the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. We also consent to the use of our name in the
Registration Statement.

Very truly yours, 
/s/Marc Woolf 
MIRKIN & WOOLF, P.A.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10-1
                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

      This Consulting Agreement (this "Agreement") is made this 10th day of
January, 1997, by and between Mirkin & Woolf, P.A.with offices at 1700 Palm
Beach Lakes Blvd., West Palm Beach, FL 33401 ("Consultant") and Medical
Industries of America, Inc., a Florida corporation with its principal office at
1903 South Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida 33426 ("Client").

      WHEREAS, Consultant has experience in providing corporate and securities
advice for emerging private and public companies; and

      WHEREAS, Client has retained and desires to continue to retain the
services of Consultant and Consultant desires to serve Client on the terms and
conditions set forth below.

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein,
the benefits to be derived by each party hereunder, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly
acknowledge, Consultant and Client agree as follows:

      1. ENGAGEMENT. Client hereby engages Consultant to provide Client with
services (as defined below), effective as of January 10, 1997 and continuing
through the Initial Consulting Period (as defined below).

      2. SCOPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED. Consultant hereby accepts the
engagement on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and agrees to
provide the consulting services, which shall consist of but not be limited to:

            A. Providing advice and analysis to Client in connection with
mergers, acquisitions and other strategic business opportunities.
<PAGE>
            B. Assist Client with matters relative to regulatory agencies, i.e.
United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), National Association
of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), National Association of
Securities Dealers ("NASD"), Florida Division of Securities ("FDS"), etc.
including filings, disclosure, press releases, listing requirements and the
like.

            C. Assist Client in negotiating joint venture opportunities.

      3. TERM. This Agreement shall be terminable at will by either party. In
the event of termination pursuant to this Paragraph 3, neither party shall have
any further rights or obligation hereunder after the effective date of
termination, except that the obligation of Client to pay fees earned and to
reimburse costs and expenses of Consultant incurred prior to the effective date
of termination in performance of the services shall continue until such fees,
costs and expenses are paid in full by Client.

      4. TIME AND EFFORT OF CONSULTANT. Consultant shall devote that amount of
working time, as necessary, on a weekly basis, to fulfill its obligations under
this Agreement. The particular amount of time may vary from day to day or week

under this Agreement.

      5. COMPENSATION. Compensation to Consultant for the services provided
under this Agreement shall be paid at the rate of $225 per hour and shall
initially be paid by delivery of 20,000 shares of the Client's common stock
("Shares"), in lieu of cash, the value of which shall be determined using the

to the detriment (in the event of a decrease) or the benefit (in the event of an
increase) of Consultant. Accordingly, for purposes hereof, the product of the
Shares multiplied by the Filing Date closing bid price shall be deemed to be a
cash payment to Consultant, irrespective of the downside risk of depreciation or
upside 
<PAGE>

Consultant shall be payable in cash within 10 days of invoicing therefore,
unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.

      6. REGISTRATION OF CLIENT'S SHARES. Immediately following the execution
date hereof, Client will register the Shares with the SEC under a S-8
registration statement. At Client's sole discretion, the Shares may be issued or
reserved for issuance prior to registration in reliance on exemptions from
registration provided by Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act"), Regulation D of the Act, and applicable state securities laws. Such
issuance on reservation shall be in reliance on representations and warranties
of Consultant set forth in Paragraph 13 (C) below.

      7. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Any expenses incurred by Consultant in carrying out
the services set forth under this Agreement with the prior written approval of
Client shall be reimbursed by Client within thirty (30) days written notice by
Consultant. Unless otherwise agreed and approved in writing in advance, all
expenses, filing fees, copy and mailing expenses incurred by Consultant
performing their services under this Agreement are the responsibility of
Consultant.

      8. PLACE OF SERVICES. The services provided by Consultant hereunder will
be performed primarily through Consultant's office, except as otherwise mutually
agreed by Consultant and Client. It is understood and expected that Consultant
may make contacts with persons and entities and perform services in other
locations as deemed appropriate and directed by Client.

      9. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Consultant will act as an independent
contractor in the performance of duties under this Agreement. Accordingly,
Consultant will be responsible for payment of all federal, state and local taxes
on compensation paid under this Agreement, including income and social security
taxes, unemployment insurance, and any other taxes or business license fees as
