The spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, has led to the requisition of operating rooms in France and other European countries, which has resulted in the postponement of surgical procedures for the coming weeks.
Several European countries have suspended air links and closed land borders, preventing the international transportation of products at this time.
Amplitude Surgical has taken the decision to decrease productivity to control costs and push through this challenging period.
The company is preparing to increase productivity once operating rooms reopen.
