The editors of Popular Science have named Pittsburgh-based ClearCount’s SmartSponge® System one of the top technology innovations of 2009. As a winner off a “Best of What’s New” award in the health category, the SmartSponge System stands out as the first and only system to incorporate the efficiency of counting with the safety of detection for the prevention of left-behind sponges during surgery.
“We are honored to be recognized by Popular Science Magazine as a company that is making revolutionary strides in the improvement of patient safety and productivity in the operating room,” said David Palmer, ClearCount’s President and CEO. “This award is a reflection of our entire team’s passion and commitment in making a positive impact on the lives of patients, surgeons and OR nurses worldwide.”
Each year, the editors of Popular Science review thousands of products in search of the top 100 tech innovations of the year; breakthrough products and technologies that represent a significant leap in their categories. The winners – the Best of What’s New – are awarded inclusion in the much-anticipated December issue of Popular Science, the
most widely read issue of the year since the debut of Best of What’s New in 1987.
