Transforming Lives with Advanced Technology
For us, innovation is innate. CONMED has been leading the development of cutting-edge surgical and patient care products since founder Eugene Corasanti built a disposable ECG electrode at his kitchen table in the early 1970s.
Today, that means physician-led design teams, constant product improvement, and the thoughtful acquisitions of similarly innovative brands. It’s being at the forefront of medical technology that enables us to continuously enhance patient outcomes — and that’s why we’re all here.

Designed by Physicians
Our R&D team partners with world-class physicians to develop innovative products that meet and exceed their clinical needs in each specialty. We rigorously test our products in cadaver labs that closely reflect the clinical environment to validate the design and procedure.
