Patient Safety Technologies, Inc., operating through its subsidiary SurgiCount Medical Inc., today announced its second-quarter results for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $4.4 million, ahead of analyst estimates of $3.2 million, and representing an increase of 71 percent over $2.6 million in sales reported for the second quarter of 2011.
Second-quarter net income of (non-GAAP) $0.2 million was lower than the $0.3 million reported for the comparable quarter of the year prior.

With this significant growth we have further strengthened our market leading position as well as continued to see our increased market penetration translate into improved financial results,” Brian E. Stewart, president and CEO of Patient Safety Technologies stated in the press release.
The company also offered business highlights, noting the successful implementation of its SurgiCount Safety-Sponge® System in an additional 65 facilities, growing its installed customer base to 215 as of June 30, 2012. This expansion marks the highest quarterly growth to-date.
