The LHP Hospital Group, Plano, Tex, has announced that it has adopted the Surgi-Count Safety-Count system from SurgiCount Medical Inc, Irvine, Calif. The Safety-Count system is designed to reduce the incidence of the most common surgical error, retained surgical sponges. The system provides users a complete documentation and compliance tool, including the ability to post-operatively confirm usage on every case and to account for each individual sponge before and after use in surgery.
