KCI Celebrates Grand Opening of the Manchester Operations Hub

MANCHESTER, England, April 20, 2010 - Global medical technology company, KCI Medical Limited, today
announced the opening of its new Operations Hub in the North West of England.
Mark Walsh, Vice President EMEA Operations KCI, unveiled the plaque today at
the Hub in the heart of the city of Manchester.

The new 20,850-square-foot building will serve as the primary
delivery and collection point for over 500 NHS and private healthcare
customers, fulfilling up to 1,300 critical orders every week. The Hub
features state-of-the-art facilities including best-in-class decontamination
facilities, industrial laundry facilities, ample storage for life saving
therapies and fully-equipped administrative offices. Moreover, KCI are
continuing their ongoing commitment to customers by offering conferencing
facilities for hosting external training and events.

Those attending the opening were welcomed with an opening
address from Paul Blakey, General Manager KCI Medical Ltd., followed by a
tour of the facility combined with demonstrations of KCI's lifesaving
therapies including the ABThera(TM) Open Abdomen Negative Pressure Therapy
System, a unique open wound management system for delayed primary closure or
where repeat abdominal entries are necessary and the BariAir(TM) Therapy
System which is designed to manage the clinical challenges of the immobile
bariatric patient and the patient-handling challenges of the caregiver.

"The decision to come to Manchester was largely based on the
city's ability to support the growing demand for KCI therapies. Local
stakeholders were invaluable in helping us tap into the information and
resources that we required to make that decision," says Blakey. The new
Operations Hub the Premier Park is designed not only to support growth in the
North West of England but across the UK. "We needed a strategic location with
a transport infrastructure that offers excellent links, both nationally and
internationally," he says.

Present at the opening ceremony, Debbie Gleeson, Tissue
Viability Nurse Specialist at St. Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS
Trust said, "KCI is a key player in the wound management arena and we are
