The efficiency of our ready-to-use technologies, particularly suitable for emergency surgeries, limited the decrease in sales, despite the exceptional context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and allowed a quick return to business activity in June, following the recovery of surgeries in hospitals that were postponed during the lockdown period.
