In over 100 hospitals and medical centers across America, the RF Surgical Detection System has eliminated the risk of a retained sponge medical error with the wave of a scanning wand. Our patented and FDA-approved technology safely and accurately reads through deep cavity tissue, fluids and bone to detect if any radio frequency tagged surgical sponges, gauze or towels remain in a patient following surgery.
RF tagged sponges have been used in over 640,000 clinical procedures without a single retained sponge incident. The system has prevented several dozen "near miss" events as well as helped find missing sponges elsewhere in the OR to reconcile counts.
At less than $15 per surgical case using the reusable Blair-Port Wand®, the RF Surgical Detection System is an extremely cost effective investment in improving patient safety and reducing hospital risk.
