Surgical sponge-counting rack

A surgical sponge-counting rack is a reusable device designed for use in operating rooms to securely hold and organize soiled sponges or swabs during surgery. Its primary purpose is to help prevent retained surgical items by providing a clear, centralized location for counting and tracking sponges throughout the procedure.

These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment, often subject to general safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied as reusable hospital assets, requiring maintenance and sterilization between uses to ensure hygiene and functionality.
