ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUES

         This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the
Common Stock, Par Value $.01 Per Share (the "Common Stock"), of CONMED
Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Issuer"), the principal executive
offices of which are located at 525 French Road, Utica, New York 13502. This
Amendment No. 2 amends and restates in full as set forth below Items 3, 5 and 6
of the Schedule 13D as originally deemed filed on May 6, 2003 ("Original
Schedule 13D"), and as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on October 29, 2003.
Terms not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the respective meanings
given to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 2 also
includes Item 7 for purposes of incorporating by reference a previously filed
exhibit.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

     The total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of the 926,814
shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") purchased by MMI Investments was
$17,500,022, all of which has been financed by incurring margin loans. These
margin loans were obtained from Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. under customary terms
and conditions.


                                                                    Page 5 of 9


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a)-(b) Based on 29,725,874 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 6,
2004 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed May 7,
2004, the Shares owned by MMI Investments represent approximately 3.1% of the
outstanding Common Stock. MMI Investments has the sole power to direct the vote
and disposition of such Shares on the date of this Statement. However, by virtue
of being the general partner of MMI Investments, MCM may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of the Shares owned by MMI Investments and to have sole power
over the voting and disposition of such Shares as a result of its having the
sole power to make voting and disposition decisions on behalf of MMI Investments
with respect to such Shares.

     Except for the Shares owned by MMI Investments, as of the date hereof,
neither MCM nor, to MMI Investments' and MCM's knowledge, any of the persons
listed on Schedule I, owns any Common Stock of the Issuer or has any right to
acquire, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of other Common Stock
of the Issuer.

     (c) Except for the open market sales of Common Stock by MMI Investments set
forth in Schedule II attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, there
have been no transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the past 60
days by MMI Investments, MCM, or, to either Reporting Person's knowledge, any of
the persons listed on Schedule I.

     (d) No person other than MMI Investments is known to either Reporting
Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Shares referred to
in Item 5(a) above.

     (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more then 5%
of the Common Stock of the Issuer on July 13, 2004.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     By virtue of being the general partner of MMI Investments, MCM may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares of the Issuer owned by MMI
Investments. Other than as described in Item 3 of this Statement (and the Joint
Filing Agreement filed as an Exhibit to the Original Schedule 13D) there are no
contracts, arrangements or understandings between the reporting persons or
between either of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any
securities of the Issuer.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

     See Exhibit Index appearing elsewhere herein, which is incorporated herein
by reference.


                                                                    Page 6 of 9
