2DSURGICAL
Stand Number: 24

The team at 2DSurgical have been specialising in reading small and challenging 2D data matrix barcodes for over twenty years. Our SurgiScans are world leaders and are widely used around the globe. They are the scanner of choice due to their incredible performance, reliability and ease of use. We believe that for tracking and traceability to work effectively, staff need to have the right equipment to perform what is often perceived as an additional task. Scanning the code needs to be an imperceptible part of the process. Our scanners are hands free, require no focus and are robust and waterproof. They have been specifically designed for CSSD and healthcare and are able to read very small, poor contrast and difficult codes easily and reliably.

It is the first solution to bridge the great divide between the supply chain’s ERP and the clinical environment’s EHR.
