CORAL SPRINGS, FL, April 23, 2010 – Anodyne Medical Device, Inc., a subsidiary of Compass Diversified Holdings (Nasdaq: CODI), announced today it has launched a corporate rebranding campaign highlighted by the introduction of a new company name, Tridien Medical. The new brand identity is designed to reflect the company’s large and diverse platform of medical therapeutic support surfaces and patient positioning devices serving the acute care, long-term care and home health care markets.

Abbey Daniels, Chief Executive Officer of Tridien Medical, commented, “Since our inception in 2006, we have experienced significant growth following the strategic acquisitions of AMF Support Surfaces, Anatomic Concepts, Primatech Medical and SenTech Medical Systems. With an expanding portfolio of leading powered and non-powered therapeutic surfaces, we recognized the need to consolidate our identity in a manner consistent with our corporate transformation for the benefit of our customers, employees and other key stakeholders. Our new brand represents the ‘Power of One,’ enabling Tridien Medical to become a more cohesive organization that takes full advantage of our operating synergies.”

Ms. Daniels added, “The new Tridien Medical name and logo, which includes three embedded resting people, celebrates our three guiding principles: Innovation, Quality and Service. Our commitment to delivering unsurpassed innovation, the highest quality products and superior service has been the hallmark of our success and will continue to serve us well in the future. Going forward, we intend to leverage our new corporate identity to build greater brand equity and further strengthen our leadership position in the medical support surfaces industry.”

Tridien Medical plans to unveil its new corporate brand, and introduce new therapeutic technologies, at the Medtrade Spring Conference on May 11-13, 2010, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Booth 613, in Las Vegas, NV.
