The Tally Surgical retained sponge prevention solution utilizes UHF RFID to simplify and speed an accurate count of surgical sponges and towels.
Retained surgical sponges are described as the most common adverse event in surgery, causing permanent or temporary injury in 92% of cases, an 11-35% mortality rate, and costly indemnity payouts and corrective surgeries for hospitals.
Tally offers an RFID-based sponge counting and finding system that scans up to 900+ times per second and includes a 'FIND MODE' to help locate missing sponges quickly.
The founders describe themselves as industry veterans who pioneered the first generation of retained-sponge prevention products, now offering unique RFID tagging on every sponge at a cost that compares favorably to manual counting or alternative technologies.
Tally Surgical was founded by CEO Brian Stewart and has raised roughly $11 million from investors including Highpoint Ventures and Sea Purity Investments.
