Situate Detection System
Patient Safety
Information
Retained surgical sponges are a costly problem for patients and hospitals. And manual counts are time-consuming and inaccurate if done alone.
The Situate™ detection system is an adjunct technology to the manual count, and solves this problem with technology that accurately and reliably detects missing tagged sponges in seconds — whether they’re in a patient or the OR.
Compared to only manual counts, when a miscount occurs, our system:
- Lessens patient exposure to anesthesia
- Decreases the risk of infection
- Shortens procedure time
- Reduces X-ray dependency
