                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                          (Non-Qualified Stock Option)

            AGREEMENT entered into as of the date set forth on the signature
page hereto by and between Life Medical Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
with a principal place of business at 379 Thornall St., Edison, New Jersey
(together with its subsidiaries, if any, the "Company"), and the undersigned
(the "Optionee").

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Optionee a non-qualified
stock option to acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value
(the "Shares"); and

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and the Optionee hereby
agree as follows:

      1. Grant of Option.

      The Company hereby grants to the Optionee a non-qualified stock option
(the "Option") to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of the number of
Shares set forth on the signature page to this Agreement on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth. The Option is not granted under a stock option
plan of the Company and shall NOT be treated as an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

      2. Purchase Price.

      The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Shares covered by the Option
shall be the dollar amount per share set forth on the signature page to this
Agreement.

      3. Time of Vesting and Exercise of Option.

      Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Option shall vest and become exercisable
on the dates and as to the installment amounts set forth on the signature page
to this Agreement. To the extent the Option (or any portion thereof) is not
exercised by the Optionee when it becomes exercisable, it shall not expire, but
shall be carried forward and shall be exercisable, on a cumulative basis, until
the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) or until earlier termination as
hereinafter provided.

                                                                    Exhibit 10.2

      4. Term; Extent of Exercisability.

            (a) Term.

                  (i) The Option shall expire as to each installment amount on
                  the date set forth next to each such amount on the signature
                  page to this Agreement (the "Expiration Date"), subject to
                  earlier termination as herein provided.

                  (ii) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, if the
                  Optionee ceases to be employed, retained by or otherwise
                  perform services for the Company, the Option shall terminate
                  on the earlier of the last day of the third month or ninety
                  days after the effective date of the cessation of such
                  services for the Company, or on the date on which the Option
                  expires by its terms, whichever occurs first; provided,
                  however, if (I) the Optionee ceases to render services to the
                  Company on account of his voluntary resignation and (ii)
                  within thirty (30) days after such resignation the Board of
                  Directors of the Company (the "Board") determines in good
                  faith that termination for cause would have been warranted
                  based on information that becomes known to the Company, then
                  the Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee
                  voluntarily resigned from the Company. The Company shall have
                  the right to postpone any exercise of this Option for a period
                  of up to thirty (30) days following voluntary resignation by
                  the Optionee.

                  (iii) If the Optionee's employment, retention or other
                  arrangement pursuant to which services are performed for the
                  Company is terminated because of dismissal for cause or
                  because the Optionee is in breach of any agreement with the
                  Company, such Option will terminate on the date the Optionee
                  ceases to perform services for the Company. The determination
                  of "cause" shall be made in good faith by the Company's Board
                  of Directors (whose determination shall be final) with a
                  written explanation thereof provided to the Optionee.

                  (iv) If the Optionee's employment, retention or other
                  arrangement pursuant to which services are performed for the
                  Company is terminated because the Optionee has become
                  permanently disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3)
                  of the Code), such Option shall terminate on the last day of
                  the twelfth month from the date such Optionee ceases to
                  perform services for the Company, or on the date on which the
                  Option expires by its terms, whichever occurs first.

                                                                    Exhibit 10.2

                  (v) In the event of the death of the Optionee, the Option
                  granted to such Optionee shall terminate on the last day of
                  the twelfth month from the date of death, or on the date on
                  which the Option expires by its terms, whichever occurs first.

            (b) Extent of Exercisability.

                  (i) Except as provided below, if the Optionee ceases to be
                  employed, retained by, or otherwise perform services for the
                  Company, the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent
                  that the right to purchase Shares under such Option has
                  accrued and is in effect on the date such Optionee ceases to
                  perform services for the Company.

                  (ii) If the Optionee's employment, retention or other
                  arrangement pursuant to which services are performed for the
                  Company because he or she has become permanently disabled
                  (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the
                  Option shall be exercisable to the full number of Shares
                  covered thereby whether or not under the provisions of Section
                  3 hereof the Optionee was entitled to do so on the effective
                  date of such termination.

                  (iii) In the event of the death of the Optionee, the Option
                  may be exercised with respect to the full number of Shares
                  covered thereby whether or not under the provisions of Section
                  3 hereof the Optionee was entitled to do so at the date of his
                  or her death, by the executor or administrator of the estate
                  of such Optionee, or by any person or persons who acquired the
                  right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or by
                  reason of the death of such Optionee.

            5. Manner of Exercise of Option.

            (a) To the extent that the right to exercise the Option has accrued
            and is in effect, the Option may be exercised in full or in part by
            giving written notice to the Company stating the number of Shares as
            to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in
            full for such Shares. No partial exercise may be made for less than
            one hundred (100) full Shares. Payment may be either wholly in cash
            or in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock already owned by
            the person exercising the Option, valued at fair market value as of
            the date of exercise; provided however, that payment of the exercise
            price by delivery of shares of Common Stock may be made only if such
            payment does not result in a charge to earnings for financial
            accounting purposes as determined by the Board. Upon such exercise,
            delivery of a certificate for paid-up, non-assessable Shares shall
            be made

                                                                    Exhibit 10.2

            at the principal office of the Company to the person exercising the
            Option, not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days
            from the date of receipt of the notice by the Company.

            (b) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option
            reserve and keep available such number of Shares of its Common Stock
            as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Option.

      6. Non-Transferability.

            The right of the Optionee to exercise the Option shall not be
assignable or transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws or
descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order as defined in
the Code or Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules
thereunder, and the Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee
only by him or her. The Option shall be null and void and without effect upon
the bankruptcy of the Optionee or upon any attempted assignment or transfer,
except as herein provided, including without limitation any purported
assignment, whether voluntary or by operation of law, pledge, hypothecation or
other disposition contrary to the provisions hereof, or levy of execution,
attachment, trustee process or similar process, whether legal or equitable, upon
the Option.

      7. Representation Letter and Investment Legend.

            In the event that for any reason the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of the Option shall not be effectively registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 (" 1933 Act"), upon any date on which the Option is exercised in
whole or in part, the person exercising the Option shall give a written
representation to the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and the
Company shall place an "investment legend", so-called, as described in Exhibit
1, upon any certificate for the Shares issued by reason of such exercise.

            The Company shall be under no obligation to qualify Shares or to
cause a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to any registration
statement to be prepared for the purposes of covering the Option or exercise
thereof.

      8. Adjustments on Changes in Capitalization.

            In the event that the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the
Company are change into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason or any
reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
split-up, combination of shares, or dividends payable in capital stock,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares as to
which the unexercised portion of the Option shall be exercisable, to the end
that the proportionate

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                                                                    Exhibit 10.2

interest of the Optionee shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such
event; such adjustment shall be made without change in the total price
applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option and with a corresponding
adjustment in the Purchase Price per Share.

            In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole
discretion, in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, the purchaser(s) of
the Company's assets or stock, in his, her or its sole discretion, may deliver
to the Optionee the same kind of consideration that is delivered to the
shareholders of the Company as a result of such sale, conveyance or Change of
Control, or the Board may cancel the Option in exchange for consideration in
cash or in kind, which consideration in both cases shall be equal in value to
the value of those shares of stock or other securities the Optionee would have
received had the Option been exercised (but only to the extent then exercisable)
and had no disposition of the Shares acquired upon such exercise been made prior
to such sale, conveyance or Change of Control, less the full Purchase Price
thereof. Upon receipt of such consideration, the Option (whether or not then
exercisable) shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect.
The value of the stock or other securities the Optionee would have received if
the Option had been exercised shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

            The Board shall also have the power and right to accelerate the
exercisability of the Option, notwithstanding any limitation in this Agreement,
upon such a sale, conveyance or Change of Control.

            A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if any
person, or any two or more persons acting as a group, and all affiliates of such
person or persons, who prior to such time owned less than fifty percent (50%) of
the then outstanding Common Stock, shall acquire such additional shares of
Common Stock in one or more transactions, so that such person or group and
affiliates beneficially own fifty percent (50%) or more of the Common Stock
outstanding.

            Upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Option shall
terminate, but the Optionee (if at such time in the employ of or otherwise
associated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a director, agent or
consultant) shall have the right, immediately prior to such dissolution or
liquidation, to exercise the Option to the extent then exercisable.

            No fraction of a Share shall be purchasable or deliverable upon the
exercise of the Option, but in the event any adjustment hereunder in the number
of Shares underlying the Option shall cause such number to include a fraction of
a Share, such fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number.

      9. No Special Employment Rights.

            The provisions of this Section 9 are applicable only to Optionees
who are employees of the Company. Nothing contained in this Option shall be
construed or deemed by any person under any circumstances to bind the Company to
continue the employment of the Optionee for the period within which this Option
may be exercised. However, during the period of the Optionee's employment, the
Optionee shall render diligently and faithfully the services which are assigned
to the Optionee from time to time by the Board of Directors or by the executive
officers of the Company and shall at no time take any action which directly or
indirectly would be inconsistent with the best interests of the Company.

      10. Rights as a Stockholder.

            The Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to
any Shares which may be purchased by exercise of this Option unless and until a
certificate or certificates representing such Shares are duly issued and
delivered to the Optionee.

      11. Withholding Taxes.

            Whenever Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Option, the
Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the Company an
amount sufficient to satisfy all Federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for the
Shares. The Company may agree to permit the Optionee to authorize the Company to
withhold Shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Option to satisfy
the above-mentioned withholding requirement; provided, however, no such
agreement may be made by an Optionee who is an officer or director within the
meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except
pursuant to a standing election to so withhold Shares of Common Stock purchased
upon exercise of the Option, such election to be made in the form set forth in
Exhibit 2 hereto and to be made not less than six (6) months prior to such
exercise. Such election may be revoked only upon providing six (6) months prior
written notice to the Company.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be
executed, and the Optionee has hereunto set his or her hand, all as of the ___

                            TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Gentlemen:

      In connection with the exercise by me of an option to purchase shares of
Common Stock, $.001 par value, of Life Medical Sciences, Inc. (the "Company"), I
hereby acknowledge that I have been informed as follows:

      1. The shares of Common Stock of the Company to be issued to me pursuant
to the exercise of said option (the "Shares") have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and, accordingly, must
be held indefinitely unless the Shares are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act, or an exemption from such registration is available.

      2. Routine sales of securities made in reliance upon Rule 144 under the
Securities Act can be made only after the holding period provided by that Rule
has been satisfied, and, in any sale to which that Rule is not applicable,
registration or compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act
will be required.

      3. The availability of Rule 144 is dependent upon adequate current public
information with respect to the Company being available and, at the time that I
may desire to make a sale pursuant to the Rule, the Company may neither wish nor
be able to comply with such requirement.

      In consideration of the issuance of certificates for the Shares to me, I
hereby represent and warrant that I am acquiring the Shares for my own account
for investment, and that I will not sell, pledge or transfer the Shares in the
absence of an effective registration statement covering the same, except as
permitted by the provisions of Rule 144, if applicable, or some other applicable
exemption under the Securities Act. In view of this representation and warranty,
I agree that there may be affixed to the certificates for the Shares to be
issued to me, and to all certificates issued hereafter representing the Shares
(until in the opinion of counsel, which opinion must be reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to counsel for the Company, it is no longer necessary or
required) a legend as follows:

      "The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
      under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were acquired by the
      registered holder pursuant to a representation and warranty that such
      holder was acquiring the Shares for his own account and for investment,
      with no intention of transfer or disposition of the same in violation of
      the registration requirements of that Act. These securities may not be
      sold, pledged, or transferred in the absence of an effective registration
      statement under such Act, or an opinion of counsel, which

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

                                                                    Exhibit 10.2

      opinion is reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company, to the
      effect that registration is not required under such Act."

      I further agree that the Company may place a stop transfer order with its
transfer agent, prohibiting the transfer of the Shares, so long as the legend
remains on the certificates representing the Shares.

                                               Very truly yours,

Dated: _____________

                                    EXHIBIT 2
                            TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Gentlemen:

      The undersigned Optionee hereby elects and agrees that, whenever the
undersigned exercises a stock option (including any options which now or may
hereafter be granted), Life Medical Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") shall
withhold from that exercise such number of Shares equal in value to the federal
and state withholding taxes due upon such exercise. The undersigned further
