An Efficient & Effective Surgical Solution to
Prevent Retained Surgical Items and Manage Miscounts
Why Melzi Sharps Finder?
Patient Safety
Provides surgeons with an advanced tool to quickly locate lost sharps, reducing X-ray exposure for both staff and patients. The Sharps Finder minimizes the risk of prolonged surgery, extended hospital stays, retained surgical items, and the need for re-operation.
Save Time
The use of an X-ray adds 40 – 75 minutes to the surgery¹. While waiting for the X-ray to arrive, adjunct technology can assist with the search for lost sharps, and the X-ray can be called off when sharps are found.
Save Money
Each minute of OR delay can cost between $36 and $100+². An average miscount situation takes 45 minutes to resolve¹. By using adjunct technology to prevent RSI, you save money and minimize potential lawsuits.
Minimize Legal Risks
X-ray effectiveness drops significantly for smaller needles, with a 44% false negative rate³, increasing the risk of reputation damage, litigation, and financial or job loss for hospitals and providers.
Many community and teaching hospitals, Veteran Administration hospitals, profit and non-profit medical centers have joined Melzi to help improve patient safety and drive OR efficiency. You can too!

"We find that calling in X-ray only helps when the object is larger, yet this is not always the case. Most surgeons opt out, stating that it will only cause more damage when digging around, and leave the object where it is, but with the Melzi Sharps Finder, we can pinpoint the location and retrieve the fragment, injury free."
