System ensures that no surgical sponge is left behind

Pittsburgh-The SmartSponge System from ClearCount Medical Solutions is designed to detect and count sponges and towels during surgical procedures. In the system, which recently received FDA approval, miniscule radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags are affixed to surgical sponges and towels. The OR team uses an RFID reader to simultaneously count and differentiate among types of sponges and towels during the procedure, even those beyond the line of vision. It also minimizes handling contaminated sponges, according to the manufacturer.
