Remove the extra space if one exists.) About SurgiCount and the Safety-Sponge System SurgiCount Medical's Safety-Sponge(TM) System works much like a grocery store check-out system. Every surgical sponge and towel is pre-labeled by the manufacturer with an individual and unique bar coded label, and a scanning counter is used to read and record the labels. No change is required in a hospital's established counting procedures: sponges are counted and recorded by the system at the beginning of the procedure and again as they are removed from the patient.
