ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring utilization of surgical sponges with reference to a surgical procedure. The system features a monitor board with a tally panel. The tally panel is generally planar, has reverse and obverse surfaces, and defines a substantial number of trans-panel deposit sites. Each site has small portions adapted suitably to deform in response to application of modest force. When the panel is in in-service orientation, and as the small portions of one site become deformed, the site is adapted to receive and retain a used sponge in trans-panel deposit. Each deposited sponge in part protrudes from the obverse surface and, against the background thereof, is visually accessible and displayed, for tallying. Stands for the monitor board as well as erectile and foldable-as-erected versions of the board and disposal containers for the a board (with a complement of used sponges) are also disclosed.
