Customized MioCARE™ L135 tablets are used in hospital operating theatres. The L135 is running a system that keeps track of surgical sponges. The interface offers extended capabilities to track individual sponges and gauzes used in surgery to reduce the risk of retained sponges. This system is currently in use in more than 500 hospitals nationwide. In an estimated 11 million-plus procedures utilizing 200 million sponges, the system has never failed to identify a retained sponge.
