American BioMed Inc. files IRB at UCLA to expand
OmniCath clinical trials

THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 23, 1996--American BioMed Inc.
(NASDAQ OTC BB:ABMI), Monday announced that it has filed an IRB at UCLA for
OmniCath(r) atherectomy catheter for hemodialysis AV fistula restenosis and that IRB's will soon be
filed at other sites.

The company plans to file an IDE with the FDA for this indication by the end of December 1996.
Industry analysts estimate the worldwide market potential for the AV fistula application at
approximately $250-million.

The company further announced that it has enrolled eight patients in its ongoing prospective
randomized study comparing PTA to atherectomy (ongoing peripheral clinical trials). To date, the
trials are progressing well and there have been no adverse effects or complications with any of the
patients. As previously announced, the company has enrolled two more sites with Dr. Kim Hodgson
at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and Dr. Darwin Eaton at University of Southern
California Medical Center for its peripheral clinical trials. Four additional sites are also being
considered.

The company's President and CEO, Steven B. Rash, stated: "These additional sites will accelerate
our patient enrollment in our ongoing peripheral clinical trials as well as the AV fistula clinical trials
which we expect to initiate in first quarter 1997. Our goal is to enroll 50 patients by June 1997 and
complete the study by the end of 1997 for FDA approval for peripheral application. The company is
very pleased with the progress of the OmniCath(r) clinicals to date and we are on schedule to obtain
FDA approval which represents a major milestone in our efforts to commercialize our proprietary
technology. The worldwide market potential for peripheral use is approximately $150-million."

minimally invasive medical, surgical and diagnostic devices which deliver unique advantages through
