The two medical device companies are exploring ways to scale other medical equipment in anticipation of a projected spike in COVID-19 cases across the country, which will place added pressure on healthcare facilities caring for a significant influx of patients.

“Production is underway and we look forward to supporting those who are on the front lines and faced with potential shortages,” said Michael Butler, president and CEO of Life Spine.
