ABOUT ATRION

As a leading manufacturer of medical devices and components, Atrion makes a wide range of
products for specific niche markets, primarily in the field of health care. Most of the
company's products are supplied to the cardiovascular, ophthalmic and fluid delivery markets.

SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTS
While Atrion is a comparatively small company in the medical products industry, it is the
leading U.S. manufacturer of products in several market niches, including soft contact lens
disinfection cases, clamps for IV sets, vacuum relief valves, surgical loops used in minimally
invasive surgery, and check valves. As an extension of its expertise in valve design and
manufacturing, Atrion also is the leading manufacturer of valves and inflation devices for the
marine and aviation markets, supplying valves used in safety products such as life vests, and
inflatable boats.

INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS
Atrion's approach to product development focuses on meeting market needs with innovative
solutions:

 For the cardiovascular market, Atrion introduced the MPS® Myocardial Protection
System, providing the surgeon with total flexibility to continually change the mix,
temperature, flow rate and precise quantities of medications delivered to the patient
during open-heart surgery. The second generation of MPS®, introduced in 2005 as
MPS2® provides several new functions including cyclic flow capability.

 For the ophthalmic market, the company manufactures the LacriCATH® balloon
catheter and the device to inflate it, providing the ophthalmic surgeon with a minimally
invasive means of treating blockages in tear ducts.

 In fluid delivery, Atrion's proprietary line of needle -free valves eliminates the use of
needles in many routine procedures, thus protecting medical personnel against
exposure to infection through accidental needle -sticks.
A key strength of Atrion is its ability to develop customized solutions for small and large
customers, and to deliver products to the marketplace quickly and cost -effectively. The
company's focus on c reative product design, low -cost manufacturing and exceptional customer
service has created a portfolio of well -performing core products and a history of long -standing
partnerships with its primary customer base.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Atrion has three facilities — in Texas, Alabama and Florida —
housing approximately 400,000 square feet of design, engineering, manufacturing, marketing,
and research and development activities.

Atrion's stock is traded on the Nasdaq Market System under the symbol AT RI.
