Caretag and Brady partner to deliver end-to-end surgical instrument tracking

Brady and Caretag partner to strengthen end-to-end instrument tracking

We’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Brady EMEA, a leader in identification solutions for high-consequence environments.

Together, we’re combining Caretag’s smart RFID technology with Brady’s identification expertise to help hospitals gain full control of their surgical instruments, from sterilisation to the operating room and back again.

This partnership brings one clear goal: making sure every instrument is in the right place at the right time, with full traceability and no uncertainty.

One connected solution

Surgical instrument management is complex. Many hospitals still rely on manual processes that take time and leave room for error.

With this partnership, we bring together technologies that are built to work as one connected system that supports the entire workflow.

Caretag provides Al-powered UHF RFID tracking that enables automatic identification of instruments. Our tags are designed to withstand more than 2,500 sterilisation cycles without compromising performance.

Brady contributes advanced identification solutions and reliable data capture across demanding hospital environments. The result is an integrated setup where instruments, sensitive data and workflows are fully connected.

Supporting compliance and better decisions

Traceability is no longer optional. With EU MDR requirements and UDI regulations, hospitals need reliable documentation of every instrument.

This solution enables full digital traceability across the entire lifecycle. At the same time, it provides insight into instrument usage, helping hospitals optimise inventory, reduce waste and improve planning.

It is not only about compliance. It is about working smarter with the data already available. The result is a simpler process with fewer errors and more time for what matters most: patient care.

Looking Ahead

The partnership will roll out across Europe starting with pilot projects. Together with Brady, we will continue to develop and refine the solution, share results and present it at key industry events.

We are proud to take this step with a strong partner and look forward to helping hospitals reach new levels of efficiency, safety and control.
