ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring the amount of fluids absorbed by surgical sponges. The sponges are placed in a receiving cylinder. A flexible diaphragm at the bottom of the cylinder flexes or deflects from the weight. This deflection displaces a fluid in a base unit. The fluid is displaced into a graduated cylinder. The cylinder is graduated in simple volume units or can include compensation for the sponge weights. A counter is included which allows the number of sponges being measured to be counted.
