Stock Guru Profile

EnXnet has a scanning device that detects surgical sponges tagged with radio frequency identification chips which will help operating room personnel detect foreign objects that have been inadvertently left inside patients.

A foreign object is left in patients after one of 10,000 surgical procedures involving open cavities, with two-thirds of the objects being surgical sponges. In some cases, the sponges may cause no symptoms and can remain undiscovered for decades. However, they add an average of four days of hospital stay after surgery and may lead to sepsis (toxins in the blood or tissues), obstruction of the intestines, and death.

The current recommended procedure for preventing foreign bodies being left in patients requires operating room staff to count sponges and instruments three times: before, during, and immediately after surgery.

A Sanford University School of Medicine study tested a system that included a battery-powered handheld scanning wand and RFID-tagged sponges. They found that the wand detected tagged sponges 100 percent of the time and gave no false positives.

The Tulsa-based company entered into a joint venture with BAHF called Medical D-Tect-OR LLC in February 2006, EnXnet President Ryan Corley said. When the venture started 10 months ago, EnXnet’s equity position was at 25 percent. With the increase in technology, the company increased its equity to 35 percent. BAHF has 65-percent equity interest in the venture.

Through the venture, the companies are working to develop a technology to help detect items such as gauze, sponges, and other instruments that may be left in the body during surgery, he said. The device would help detect those items before medical professionals complete a surgery by closing the patient’s incision.

Corley said the technology would emit a sound when a device is passed over the body. There are tiny receivers in the disposal equipment that will make the signal. Current technology does not allow medical teams to detect equipment and other items before they close a patient up. He said now things like gauze have barium strips that will show up when a patient is X-rayed. The problem, he said, is that if a patient is being X-rayed, then the surgery has been completed. There are risks involved with having items left inside the body following surgery, including infection. With the Medical D-Tect-OR LLC technology, there will be a chance to reduce those risks and remove items from the body before is closed, he said. As for time line, Corley said the development is pretty far along and has progressed quickly, but before the item can be marketed, it will have to receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration. EnXnet formed the joint venture with BAHF because BAHF has experience in the medical field. This ambitious company has three patent applications on file with the United States Patent Office:
