BioMedical Enterprises, Inc. (BME) Announces the Appointment of Keith M.
Peeples as Vice President, Sales and Marketing

SAN ANTONIO, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMedical Enterprises, Inc. (BME), a
rapidly growing medical device company focused on the clinical development of
orthopaedic memory metal implants, announced today that it has appointed Keith
M. Peeples as its Vice President, Sales and Marketing.  

BME specializes in nitinol implants that contract and compress bone after
implantation, bringing bone ends together to promote bone union.  The
Orthopaedic Staple System (OSS)(TM) of proprietary staples and the patented
OSSforce(TM) Controller allow the surgeon to finely control the amount of
compression and rate of force application generated on bones, thereby reducing
fractures and stimulate bone healing.

marketing experience to BME, as well as a shared strategic vision to create a
leading medical device company," said Kenneth I. Moch, President and CEO of
BME.  "We are delighted to have Keith as part of our leadership team."

Mr. Peeples brings to BME over 25 years experience in sales, marketing and
sales training in the healthcare industry. Prior to joining BME he was Vice
President of Sales and Marketing at Advanced Bio-Surfaces, Inc., an orthopedic
company that manufactures an interpositional knee implant system.  From 1999
to 2006, Mr. Peeples was Vice President of Sales at The ASC Network, which
offers a supply solution to physician owned or procedure based centers.  From
1995-1998, Mr. Peeples was Director of Sales for North and South America at
Medtronic / InStent, a provider of self-expanding nitinol stents for
gastroenterology, urology, radiology and peripheral vascular procedures.  Mr.
Peeples also worked as the Western Regional Sales Manager and as an
independent sales representative with Pentax Precision Instrument Corp., a
provider of flexible endoscopes, from 1981 to 1995. Mr. Peeples has a B.A. in
