RF Surgical Systems, Inc. - RF Surgical Sponge Detection - Product Overview

Features

The RF Surgical™ Detection System is affordable, easy to use and extremely accurate in both sponge detection sensitivity and range.

Three key components make up the system: a handheld scanning wand connected to a compact, self-calibrating console and a micro RF tag which is embedded in a variety of surgical gauze, sponges and towels. When the system is activated and the wand is passed over a patient prior to closing procedures, an audible and visual alarm would immediately signal the presence of any retained object(s) fitted with a tag.

By helping prevent the occurrence and risk of retained surgical sponges, the RF Surgical Detection System will set a new standard of patient care and safety in the operating room.
