      Re:  Sale of Common Stock Pursuant to Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as counsel to Corgenix  Medical  Corporation (the "Company")
in connection with the registration by the Company of 1,250,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.001 par value (the "Shares"),  described in the Registration  Statement
on Form  S-8 of the  Company  being  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  concurrently  herewith. The Shares have been or may be issued by the
Company  upon  exercise of options or warrants  that have been or may be granted
under  the  Company's   Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan,  the  Company's   Stock
Compensation Plan or the Company's 1999 Incentive Stock Plan (collectively,  the
"Plans").  This  opinion is  delivered  to you  pursuant  to Item  601(b)(5)  of
Registration  S-B  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended.  With your
permission,  all  assumptions  and statements of reliance  herein have been made
without  independent  investigation  or  verification  on our part except to the
extent otherwise expressly stated, and we express no opinion with respect to the
subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied on. In connection
with this  opinion,  we have  investigated  such  questions  of law and examined
certain  corporate  records and  proceedings of the Company,  including  actions
taken by the Company's  Board of Directors in respect of the  authorization  and
issuance  of the  Shares  and such  other  matters  as we deemed  necessary  and
appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

      Based upon the foregoing,  we are of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized and, when issued and paid for (with the  consideration  received
by the Company being not less than the par value thereof) in accordance with the
Plans and any agreement  applicable to the shares, will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.

      We hereby  consent to be named in the  Registration  Statement  and in the
Prospectus  constituting  a part  thereof,  as amended from time to time, as the
attorneys who will pass upon legal  matters in  connection  with the issuance of
the  Shares,  and to the filing of this  opinion as an exhibit to the  aforesaid
Registration  Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we
are in the category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933 or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                Very truly yours,


                                 DAVIS GRAHAM & STUBBS LLP
