          UROMED CORPORATION COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL CASH TENDER OFFER FOR
           $34.9 MILLION OF ITS 6% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE
                                 OCTOBER 15, 2003


     NEEDHAM, MA October 22, 1998 -- UroMed Corporation (NASDAQ:URMDC) 
announced today that it has successfully completed its self tender offer (the 
"Offer") and purchased $34.9 million aggregate principal amount of its 6% 
Convertible Subordinated Notes due October 15, 2003 (the "Notes"). The 
maximum amount of the Offer was $40.0 million principal amount of notes and 
noteholders tendered approximately $34.9 million principal amount of notes, 
all of which were purchased by the Company.

     The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 21, 1998. 
The purchase price of the Notes per $1,000 principal amount was $450 plus 
accrued and unpaid interest from October 15, 1998 up to, but not including,

offer is positive for all concerned. The purchase of $34.9 principal amount 
of the Notes, in conjunction with our stock buyback program, more 
appropriately aligns our capital structure to our present operational 
profile. Additionally, this successful transaction should provide the Company 
greater flexibility in managing its operations and in financing its business."
