FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Graham Medical poised to impact disaster relief efforts with ComfortOne^TM Disposable Sleeping Bag with Pillow

Green Bay, Wis., March 7, 2006 - When disaster strikes, limiting contamination and improving living conditions quickly become top priorities for disaster relief agencies and those in need.  For disaster relief efforts, Graham Medical, a leading marketer and manufacturer of single use medical products, introduces its innovative, new product solution.  ComfortOne^TM Disposable Sleeping Bag with Pillow is portable, compact, lightweight and convenient.  Its unique layered construction features non-woven materials that provide fluid barrier protection and are non-allergenic.

"There is top-of-mind awareness regarding disaster relief preparedness these days, particularly for those persons or organizations involved with disaster relief efforts.  Disposable sleeping bags are an important element of overall preparedness," said Brian Segrin, director of sales and marketing for Graham Medical.

While traditional sleeping bags are often found on disaster relief preparedness lists, Graham Medical will position ComfortOne^TM Disposable Sleeping Bag with Pillow as a standard, necessary supply.  "The disposable sleeping bag helps address some of our basic needs in times of crisis such as sanitation, warmth and shelter.  It eliminates laundry costs, packs into one-quarter of the space compared to a regular sleeping bag, and is just one-third the weight.  It's one more way agencies and organizations can prepare for the unexpected," said Segrin.

ComfortOne^TM Disposable Sleeping Bag includes an inflatable pillow, lays flat at 36" x 92", and weighs only two pounds.  It fits in a resealable vacuum pouch and is engineered for use up to two weeks.
