hereby authorize and appoint Daniel S. Jonas, Heather L. Cohen
and Sarah M. Oliker (collectively, the "agents"), or any one of
them acting separately, with the full power of substitution, as
the principal's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact.  The
principal hereby grants his authority to each agent to:

(1)prepare, execute in the principal's name and on the principal's
behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other
documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords
enabling the principal to make electronic filings with the SEC of
reports required by the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"),
the Securities Exchange Act ofl934 (the "Exchange  Act") and any
rule or regulation of the SEC;

(2) prepare, execute and file for and on behalf of the principal,
in the principal's capacity as an officer and/or director of CONMED
Corporation or any successor thereto (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4,
and 5, or any similar or successor form, and all instruments necessary
or incidental therewith, in accordance with Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, with the SEC and any stock
exchange or similar authority;

(3) prepare, execute and file for and on behalf of the principal, in
the principal's capacity as an officer and/or director of the Company,
any other forms or reports the principal may be required to file with
the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority in connection
with the principal's ownership, acquisition, or disposition of
securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, any Form
144 pursuant to the Securities Act, or any similar or successor form,
any lock-up agreement and any other written plan or document, in
each case encompassing all instruments necessary or incidental
therewith; and

(4) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the principal
of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing which, in the
opinion of such agent, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of,
or legally required by, the principal, it being understood that the
documents executed by such agent on behalf of the principal pursuant
to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain
such terms and conditions as such agent may approve in such agent's
discretion.

This Power of Attorney shall not be affected by the subsequent
disability or incompetence of the Principal.  This Power of Attorney
may be revoked by the principal at any time.  This Power of Attorney
shall remain in full force and effect until it is either (i) revoked
in writing by the principal, (ii) terminated upon the death of the
principal, (iii) terminated upon another event described in Section
5-1511 of the New York General Obligations Law or (iv) as to any agent,
until such time as such agent ceases to be an employee of the Company,
any successor thereto or any of their respective affiliates.


This Power of Attorney does not revoke any existing Powers of Attorney
executed by the principal.  The execution of any subsequent Power of
Attorney shall not serve to revoke this Power of Attorney.

The principal hereby agrees to indemnify any third party for any
claims that may arise against such third party because of reliance
on this Power of Attorney. The principal understands that any
termination of this Power of Attorney, whether the result of the
principal's revocation of the Power of Attorney or otherwise,
is not effective as to a third party until such third party has
actual notice or knowledge of the termination.

This Power of Attorney recites the text provided in Section 5-1513
of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York in the form
attached hereto as Annex I (the "Cautionary Language").  For the
avoidance of doubt, the principal understands, agrees, and affirms
that it is his intent that if any provision contained in the Cautionary
Language shall be inconsistent with any provision contained in this
Power of Attorney, the provision contained in this Power of Attorney
shall prevail to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Nothing in
this Power of Attorney shall be construed as an admission or
acknowledgment of the principal that this Power of Attorney is
subject to the requirements of Section 5-1501B of the General
Obligations Law of the State of New York.

Principal's Signature and Acknowledgements

IN WITNESS WHEROF, the principal has caused this Power of Attorney
to be executed on this 19th day of Sept. 2014.
