Conmed

ConMed Company History

In 1989, ConMed acquired Aspen Labs from Bristol Myers Squibb. This allowed ConMed to take a dominant position in the field of electrosurgery equipment and supplies. The acquisition of Linvatec in 1997 made ConMed the second largest manufacturer of arthroscopy products and orthopedic surgical instruments in the world. According to the Mayo Clinic, arthroscopy is an innovative way to diagnose and treat joint issues using a small, minimally invasive surgical procedure and a fiber-optic camera. This addition to the ConMed family of companies allowed the company to achieve a dominant position in the arthroscopic medical field.

ConMed continued their winning ways with the purchase of the majority of the gastroenterology and pulmonology divisions of C.R. Bard. An agreement reached with the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF) also provided ConMed with the exclusive global marketing rights for the allograft tissue developed by MTF.

In 2016 and 2019, respectively, ConMed acquired SurgiQuest and Buffalo Filter. SurgiQuest brought ConMed into the forefront of minimally invasive surgical equipment. The smoke evacuation and filtration solutions produced by Buffalo Filter were important additions to the ConMed family of companies.

Today, ConMed employs more than 3,500 people around the world. As a publicly traded company, ConMed has a proven reputation for quality and reliability that has made it a trusted resource for medical facilities worldwide. CIA Medical offers ConMed products that are designed specifically for hospitals, private medical practices, public clinics and all the healthcare facilities in between. We work with you to find the perfect supply solutions for your needs and your budget.
