   About SurgiCount and the Safety-Sponge System

   SurgiCount Medical's Safety-Sponge(TM) System works much like a
grocery store check-out system. Every surgical sponge and towel is
pre-labeled by the manufacturer with an individual and unique bar
coded label, and a scanning counter is used to read and record the
labels. No change is required in a hospital's established counting
procedures: sponges are counted and recorded by the system at the
beginning of the procedure and again as they are removed from the
patient. For more information, visit www.surgicountmedical.com.
