SATO WS2: for the hospitals of tomorrow
The SATO WS2 label printer is a hygienic, compact direct thermal desktop printer, ideally suited to a wide range of healthcare applications. Thanks to its disinfectant-resistant, antimicrobial plastic housing, the WS2 can be used directly on hospital wards to print patient ID wristbands and labels for inpatients quickly and accurately. The WS2 is also available in a cost-effective bundle with patient ID wristbands, making handwritten labels a thing of the past.

Top priority: patient safety
The SATO WS2 is compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to transport, so you can print flexibly as needed, either in the patient room or at the desk. We know that space in hospitals is an important issue, which is why this was taken into account when developing the WS2. The device is up to 23% smaller than comparable competitor models. In addition, the disinfectant-ready and antimicrobial plastic housing is easy to keep clean.
SATO WS2: a sustainable, smart choice
Changing media on wristband and label printers, for example from adult wristbands to baby wristbands, leads to wasted media on many other printers. Not so with the WS2: it is ready to print from the very first label every time.
The benefits:
- It saves hospital staff time and effort
- Less waste is produced, which improves the hospital’s overall CO2 footprint.
