Multiphase preclinical assessment of a novel device to locate unintentionally retained surgical sharps: a proof-of-concept study

CONCLUSIONS: The use of MSF in this study's RSS models facilitated the determination of presence and localization of RSS as shown by the increased rate of identification of a needle, decreased time to identification and higher accuracy in determining the presence of a needle. This device may be used in conjunction with radiography as it gives live visual and auditory feedback for users during the search for RSS.PMID:37101230 | PMC:PMC10131432 | DOI:10.1186/s13037-023-00359-8
