Instrumental Med Design

Did you know that retained surgical sponges are the #1 never event in the US today? Never events should never occur, yet retained sponge cases happen 11 times per day. Learn more about the problem at http://weareimd.com/

Why did we develop Spongetrak? Because we care about patients. Retained sponge cases are the #1 never event, occurring 11 times per day. 5% of cases result in death, 16% in permanent injury, and 78% in temporary injury. Join us in solving this problem!
