                                  TRISTEL plc


    Supply agreement with BHT Hygienetechnik GmbH, Germany for a specialist
                               washer-disinfector


Tristel plc ('Tristel'), the AIM listed provider of infection and contamination
control products, announces that it has entered into a supply agreement with BHT
Hygienetechnik GmbH ('BHT'), Augsburg, Germany for the supply of
washer-disinfectors specially designed for the small endoscopes used in Ear,
Nose and Throat (ENT) examination procedures.


This manufacture and supply agreement supersedes a design and development
agreement that the companies entered into in March 2007 under which BHT
developed the design for the washer to Tristel's specification.


Commenting on the manufacturing and supply relationship with BHT, Paul Swinney
explains:


 'In 2003 we launched the Tristel wipes system for the small diameter endoscopes
used for nose and throat examinations.  It has proven to be extremely successful
with over 50% of all ENT departments in the country using the system.  However,
many of the hospitals that have not adopted the wipes system have expressed a
preference for an automated decontamination process.  The washer-disinfector
that we have developed with BHT fits the bill.  BHT is a world renowned
manufacturer of endoscope decontamination equipment.'
