announced today that revenue for the second quarter of 2009 increased by
43% over the same fiscal quarter 2008. Trailing quarter product sales

growth in the second quarter," Doug Daniels CEO commented. "We are pleased
with the growth of our SpineJet franchise."

"The team at HydroCision has done an extraordinary job in keeping the
patient, and the physicians at the center of our business. By focusing our
sales team on continued physician education, and highlighting the positive

line growth. We are looking forward to continued revenue growth in the
third quarter of 2009 through further penetration of the company's core
products and two new product releases."
