Tri-anim Announces Distribution Agreement with Parker Medical

SYLMAR, Calif.--(Business Wire)--Tri-anim, the nation's largest provider of specialty sales and
distribution solutions for healthcare, is pleased to announce an
alliance with Parker Medical to sell and distribute Parker's
innovative airway management products.

Tri-anim will distribute the full line of Parker's revolutionary
Flex-Tip(R) Tracheal Tubes, which are designed to facilitate fast,
easy intubation, and to prevent damage to the patient's airway
anatomy, even during intubation of difficult airways. Tri-anim will
also sell the Parker Flex-It(TM) Intubating Stylet which makes it
possible to remotely curve the tracheal tube during intubations.

"We are delighted to be working with Parker Medical as we believe
that they have one of the first significant improvements in
endotracheal tubes in over 30 years," said Bob Byers Jr., President
and CEO of Tri-anim. "The soft ski tip design of their endotracheal
tube provides a potential for reduced trauma to the vocal cords and
provides our customers with an effective alternative," continued Mr.
Byers.

"Parker's patented, award-winning products can save lives, prevent
OR delays, and are likely to become the standard of care for all
intubations," said Dr. Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and CTO of Parker
Medical. "We have worked hard to establish Parker as a brand that
stands for innovation, reliability, and safety in airway management
products. Parker's products enable anesthesiologists, CRNAs, emergency
and critical care physicians, paramedics and EMTs to meet the
challenge of quickly intubating even the most difficult airways in a
manner that minimizes trauma to the patient. We welcome Tri-anim's
recognition of the unique advantages of Parker's technologies,"
continued Dr. Parker.

Parker plans to introduce several new products in 2008, starting
with EasyCurve(TM) tubes.
