RFID in surgery

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in surgery involves using tiny electronic tags attached to surgical tools, implants, or patient records. These tags communicate wirelessly with scanners to quickly and accurately identify and track items during procedures. This technology helps improve safety, organization, and efficiency by reducing errors, ensuring the right instruments are used, and monitoring implantable devices throughout their lifecycle. RFID enhances the precision and coordination of surgical team efforts, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes.
