Executive Summary
Under guidelines recently unveiled by President Trump, US health care facilities could gradually start phasing-in more elective surgeries, including commonly performed operations that were postponed due the COVID-19 outbreak – many of which involve extensive device use. Elective surgeries include orthopedic joint replacement procedures, colonoscopies and cataract-correcting procedures that could resume as early as May under Trump’s plan.
