EXHIBIT 99.2

 

SWORN STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER
OF STRYKER CORPORATION PURSUANT TO SEC ORDER 4-460

I, David J. Simpson, state and attest that:

(1)

To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports of Stryker Corporation

 

(the "Company"), and, except as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

 

 

-

no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as of the end of the period

 

covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,

 

as of the date on which it was filed); and

 

 

-

no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements in the covered

 

report, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the end

 

of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy

 

materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

 

 

(2)

I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's Audit Committee.

 

 

(3)

In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before the date of this statement,

 

is a "covered report":

 

 

-

Stryker Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 filed

 

with the Commission

 

 

-

all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive proxy materials of

 

Stryker Corporation filed with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K
