Featherlite Custom-Built Mobile Lab Helps Wright Medical Train SurgeonsFeatherlite Trailers custom built this mobile lab for Wri

Featherlite, Inc. (Nasdaq:FTHR) has built a 53-foot
mobile medical education lab for Wright Medical Technology, Inc. The
unit was created for Wright Medical to travel across the country where
it will provide more accessible procedure and product training to
surgeons at medical facilities, as well as those attending medical
conventions and meetings.
   Wright Medical Technology, Inc., headquartered in Arlington,
Tenn., is a global orthopedic medical device company specializing in
the design, manufacturing and marketing of reconstructive joint
devices and biologics. Wright's products include large joint implants
for the hip and knee, extremity implants for the hand, elbow,
shoulder, foot and ankle and both synthetic and tissue-based bone
graft substitute materials.
   Featherlite is a leading manufacturer of custom trailers for
mobile medical, emergency response, education, business, sport,
vending and recreational purposes.
   The Wright Medical mobile lab is designed to serve both new and
existing clients. Full training and product demonstrations can be
conducted on site, eliminating the need for travel that can often be
inconvenient and difficult to schedule.
   "Surgical training is a key component of service to our customers,
yet it is sometimes inconvenient for surgeons who must take time away
from their practices for travel and training," Eric Stookey, Vice
President of U.S. Sales at Wright Medical, said. "With the new mobile
lab, Wright will bring these important training sessions directly to
them, making it more convenient for them to expand their surgical
experience with our products."
   Completely self-contained, the Wright Medical trailer is equipped
with three slide-outs that expand the lab space to 550 square feet. It
includes six separate cadaveric or saw bone stations and a conference
room. The trailer has integrated audio and visual capabilities. A
support trailer will accompany the mobile medical lab to transport
supplies.
   The mobile medical lab debuted in San Antonio, Texas, on September
22-24, 2005, at the annual meeting of the American Society for Surgery
of the Hand. The next scheduled visits include San Diego, Calif.,
Dallas, Texas, Chicago, Ill., Philadelphia, Pa., and Orlando, Florida.
   "Over 35 surgeons participated in the mobile lab's first training
sessions in San Antonio on September 22-24, and the sessions went very
well," Mike Smith, Sr. Manager in the Medical Education department,
said. "Surgeons who attended seemed very impressed with the new lab,
and some even commented that our mobile facility rivaled some
operating rooms they had worked in."
   Featherlite Director of Marketing Dave Ferdon said, "Featherlite
specialty trailers can truly take any organization or company's
operations on the road to their clients. Featherlite is excited to see
Wright Medical experience positive results from their custom designed
medical laboratory trailer."
   In addition to mobile medical laboratories, Featherlite designs
and manufactures mobile marketing, communication and command centers,
recruiting, museum, training and other trailers.
