Tally Surgical, Inc.

Tally Surgical, Inc. designs and manufactures a proprietary RFID-based retained surgical sponge detection system. The company's flagship product uses unique RFID technology embedded in surgical sponges to prevent retained foreign objects (RFOs), one of the most common adverse events in surgery. The system operates at up to 900+ scans per second and includes a proprietary FIND MODE feature to rapidly locate missing sponges in the operating room. Tally's solution addresses a critical patient safety concern: retained surgical sponges affect an estimated 92% of patients with permanent or temporary injury and carry an average indemnity payout of $473,000 per incident, plus corrective surgery costs averaging $77,512. The company positions its cost-competitive offering as an alternative to manual counting and existing technologies. Tally Surgical serves hospital operating rooms and surgical centers seeking to reduce never-events and associated liability while improving clinical outcomes. The company is headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California and is led by industry veterans who previously developed first-generation retained sponge prevention products.
