HUG THEIR HEART.

**UPDATE**

In response to recent world events involving the COVID-19 virus, General Cardiac Technology, Inc. is making preparations and staying informed on the situation as it develops. We are working with vendors to monitor supply chain impacts so we can be well positioned to overcome the challenges we are facing.

Currently, we have limited our operations to only the essential functions of shipping and receiving. We intend to continue to ship Heart Hugger™ and Surgi-Support Vest at full capacity to ensure that customers continue to receive the critical products we provide.

We realize this is a difficult time for everyone the world over and wish you and your loved one’s good health and stability through this difficult and challenging time.
