ConMed, a surgical device maker, has asked its financial advisers — Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and Greenhill & Co — to contact orthopedic device makers about a possible sale.
The company has been under pressure from activist investors since last year, who took issue with the company’s performance and corporate governance. It has roughly 3,600 employees and a direct selling presence in 16 countries outside the United States. It creates devices for a number of specialties, including orthopedics and sports medicine, gynecology, neurosurgery and gastroenterology, according to the report.
