Staplers Are Tracked Devices
Captions available
The idea
Staplers and other devices used during surgery are accounted for even when they are not part of the traditional count.
In practice
Devices such as staplers, drains and catheter sets are tracked by the methods the facility sets, because devices and their fragments can be left behind.
Where people slip
Know how your facility tracks devices, and follow it every time.
