History
CONMED’s exciting history began in 1970, when we were first established by Eugene Corasanti in Utica, New York as Consolidated Medical Equipment, Inc. The company’s first product was the disposable ECG monitoring electrode. The electrode market was booming as disposable products began to rapidly gain acceptance. This began our growth streak in the medical device industry and we have been expanding ever since.
Today, CONMED manufactures and markets thousands of products to providers across the healthcare continuum. We are a leader in Orthopedics, General Surgery, Gynecology, Gastroenterology, Laparoscopy, Cardiology and Critical Care markets. We continue to offer innovation and value added customer service across all of our product lines.
With multiple manufacturing and design facilities, over 3,500 employees, and worldwide distribution, CONMED strives to improve the quality of healthcare by designing, producing and marketing innovative, high-quality products.
