Medline Industries, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare supplies, has signed a three-year national agreement with Premier Purchasing Partners for surgical sponge detection systems, including ClearCount Medical Solutions’SmartSponge and SmartWand-DTX products. The SmartSponge System uniquely identifies each sponge in an operating room so that they can be both easily counted and detected during surgery – making retained surgical sponges a true “Never Event.” Learn more at clearcount.com and medline.com.
