surgical instrument tracking systems
Surgical instrument tracking systems are technologies used to monitor and manage surgical tools throughout a procedure. They typically use barcodes, RFID tags, or wireless sensors attached to instruments, allowing staff to know the location, status, and usage history of each tool in real-time. This improves safety by preventing instrument loss, ensuring proper sterilization, and maintaining accurate records. These systems enhance operational efficiency, reduce the risk of retained surgical items, and support compliance with health regulations, ultimately contributing to safer and more organized surgical environments.
