Stryker launches next generation of SurgiCount+ to help improve the standard of care in hospitals for sponge management and blood loss assessment
Stryker (NYSE:SYK) has launched the next generation of SurgiCount+, now integrated with Triton technology, to address retained surgical sponges and blood loss assessment challenges. The system features AI technology that differentiates blood from other fluids and includes a Bluetooth scale for weighing blood-soaked items. The solution helps prevent retained surgical items, which occur in 88% of cases with false correct counts, and assists in managing maternal hemorrhage cases, of which 70% are preventable. The integrated platform streamlines workflow efficiency, reduces manual data entry errors, and provides real-time EMR integration.
