Report of Independent Accountants
To the Participants and Administrator of
CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31,
2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

1. Establishment and Description of Plan
Effective January 1992, CONMED Corporation (the "Company") established the
CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is a
defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of the Company
and its subsidiaries who meet the applicable age and service requirements
set forth in the Plan document. The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The
following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
complete information.
Administration of the Plan
The Company serves as Plan Administrator with full power, authority and
responsibility to control and manage the operation and administration of
the Plan.
Contributions
A participant could contribute up to 16 percent of his or her annual
compensation, as defined, up to a maximum of $10,500 per year on a pretax
basis for 2001 and 2000. The Company matches 50 percent of each
participant's contribution of up to a maximum of 6 percent of participant
compensation. Forfeitures of terminated participants' non-vested accounts
reduce employer contributions.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
and allocation of (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings.
Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as
defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
can be provided from the participant's account.
Vesting
Each participant is immediately vested in his or her voluntary
contributions plus earnings thereon. A participant becomes vested in the
remainder of his or her account upon the completion of five years of
service.
Investment Options
A participant may direct contributions (in five percent increments) to any
of twelve investment options, as described by the plan administrator:
CONMED Stock Fund - Funds are primarily invested in the common stock of the
Company.
FAM Value Fund - Funds are primarily invested in the Fenimore Asset
Management Fund.

mutual fund seeks reasonable income by investing at least 65% of its total

U. S. dollar denominated investment-grade bonds.

mutual fund seeks capital appreciation by investing mainly in low-priced
common stocks ($35 or less at the time of purchase).
Retirement Money Market Fund - Invests in the Fidelity Money Market Trust:
Retirement Money Market Portfolio. This mutual fund seeks to earn a high
level of current income while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price by
investing in high-quality, short-term securities.
Managed Income Portfolio Fund - This common collective trust fund invests
in the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio. The portfolio seeks preservation
of capital and a competitive level of income over time by investing in
short and long-term investment contracts issued by insurance companies.
U.S. Equity Index Fund - Invests in the Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund.
This mutual fund seeks a total return which corresponds to that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index by attempting to duplicate the composition and
total return of the S&P 500.
Puritan Fund - Invests in the Fidelity Puritan Fund. The Fund seeks income
and capital growth consistent with reasonable risk by investing
approximately 60% of assets in stocks and other equity securities and the
remainder in bonds and other debt securities.
Aggressive Growth Fund - Invests in the Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks
of domestic and foreign issuers that offer the potential for accelerated
earnings or revenue growth.
Diversified International Fund - Invests in the Fidelity Diversified
International Fund. This Fund seeks capital growth by normally investing at
least 65% of total assets in foreign securities.
Brokerage Link Accounts - Invests in individual common stocks, bonds or

Loans
A participant may obtain a loan between $500 and $50,000, limited to fifty
percent of his or her vested account balance. Each loan bears interest at prime
plus 1% and is secured by a lien on the borrowing participant's plan account.
Repayment is required over a period not to exceed five years or up to 15 years
where the loan is for the purchase of a primary residence. Loan repayments are
allocated among the twelve investment options consistent with the participant's
contribution investment election.

1. Establishment and Description of Plan (Continued)
Payment of Benefits
Participants or their beneficiaries are eligible to receive benefits under
the Plan upon normal retirement, death, total and permanent disability or
termination for any reason other than those previously mentioned. Benefits
are payable in accordance with Plan provisions.
Plan Termination
While the Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will continue, it
reserves the right to discontinue the Plan subject to the provisions of
ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100
percent vested in their accounts.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
Valuation of Investments
Investments are stated at fair value. The Company stock is valued at its
quoted market price. Mutual fund investments are valued at the net asset
value, representing the value at which shares of the fund may be purchased
or redeemed. Investments in common collective trust funds are valued at the
net asset value of shares held by the trust as determined by the investment
manager.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded
as of the ex-dividend date.
Contributions
Participant contributions and matching employer contributions are recorded
in the period during which the Company makes payroll deductions from the
participants' earnings.
Administrative Expenses
All administrative expenses, including accounting, legal and trustee fees
are paid by the Company.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets available for plan benefits and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
twelve funds. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect
participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of
net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits.
3. Income Tax Status
The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is qualified
pursuant to the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue Code, and,
accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income taxes.
The Plan has obtained a favorable tax determination letter, dated June 20,
1995, from the Internal Revenue Service and the Plan administrator believes
that the Plan, as amended, continues to qualify and to operate as designed.
