Safety-Sponge System
Positive outcomes
start at zero
We’re all committed to successful surgical outcomes, and the largest non-sponsored study published to date on retained surgical sponges shows that the SurgiCount Safety-Sponge System helps you achieve that.1 As your safety net, it digitally verifies removal of each uniquely-coded sponge in real time and provides permanent, robust reports to back up your work.
Accounting for the status of each and every unique sponge.
Radiopaque and each uniquely-coded with a fluid-wicking tag.
Virtually limitless individual, aggregate and customizable reports.
Accountable from start to finish
Since 2009, more than 550 U.S. healthcare facilities have trusted the SurgiCount Safety-Sponge System, using 200 million of our sponges in 11 million procedures with zero retained surgical sponges. With real-time accounting of each sponge and explicit identification of any still outstanding, it will safeguard your success.
Mayo Clinic: The SurgiCount System reduced retained sponge occurrence from an average of every 64 days to zero.2
