SurgiCount Medical

SurgiCount Medical is a healthcare technology company specializing in patient safety solutions designed to eliminate retained surgical items (RSI). The company's flagship product, the Safety-Sponge System, utilizes uniquely barcoded surgical sponges and towels combined with a proprietary scanning tablet to provide real-time, accurate counts during procedures. This system is designed to replace manual counting methods, which are prone to human error, thereby reducing the risk of post-operative complications and associated legal liabilities. SurgiCount's technology has been widely adopted by leading hospitals and surgical centers across the United States. In 2014, the company was acquired by Stryker Corporation and now operates as part of Stryker's medical division.
