Increased COVID Headwinds Shut Down Procedures: Q220 Trauma Market Recap
By Doug Devens on 9/17/20 10:45 AM
Headwinds increased in Q2 as COVID-19 shut down elective procedures and stay-at-home orders impacted trauma volumes, but by the end of the quarter tailwinds picked up and it was smooth flying.
Q220 started out in a stall and continued to nosedive, as the Trauma segment experienced decreased admissions in April and May due to stay at home orders that caused a decrease in daily activities, including limited driving for most of the US. The US Trauma Market was down -14.2% YoY, with WW revenues declining -16.2%.
In June tailwinds picked up as stay at home orders began to lift and activities resumed, which boded well for the Trauma segment. Trauma procedures started to rebound in June, as most hospitals resumed surgeries depending upon PPE and OR time and resources.
