Since 1979, Befour Inc. has been engineering, manufacturing, and testing the finest professional scale products on the market – and one of the select few companies that can say its products are made in the USA.

In addition to making scales under the Befour name, it has been an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for several of the best-known brands of scales who marketed Befour designs under their trade names. Every day, tens of thousands of individuals have their weight measured, not even realizing that the very scale they stood on was designed and manufactured by Befour Inc.

Befour scales are used across the healthcare field in hospitals, physicians’ offices and nursing homes. They are also the chosen scales of commercial gyms, professional sports teams, police departments, fire stations, schools, universities and the United States Armed Forces.

Befour Inc. President Kariann Thon recently shared more information about the company and how it can help healthcare technology management professionals.

Q: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS YOU OFFER?
A: Befour has been designing and manufacturing precision digital scales for over 45 years. Our scales are specifically designed to weigh patients, with a product line ranging from pediatric scales with 1 gram accuracy all the way up to bariatric wheelchair scales with a 1,000-pound weight capacity. One of Befour’s most popular scale lines is our stand-on measurement stations, which utilize our exclusive Opti-Height technology for the most accurate, safest and fastest way to measure a patient’s weight and height. We’ve also added to our existing ADA-compliant scale options an ADA-compliant wheelchair scale (MX480D-ADA) and also introduced a wall-mount wheelchair scale (MX440D).

Q: HOW DOES YOUR COMPANY STAND OUT IN THE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FIELD?
A: Befour scales are USA-made and built to last decades in high-use, demanding environments. All scales are safety-listed to the most current medical device electrical standards and most competitive scale companies can’t make that claim. In addition, our scales include cost-saving features such as exceptional battery life, 3-year warranty and technical support for the life of the scale. These scales are incredibly easy to own and operate, while also providing the most accurate weight measurements.

Q: DO YOU HAVE ANY GOALS YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE?
A: Historically, Befour has put all our resources into engineering and manufacturing incredible scales that surpass the competition in every way, resulting in a complete line of competitively priced healthcare scales we are proud to stand behind. Now, our dual focus is furthering the Befour brand and ensuring those in healthcare are aware of who we are and why our scales can create a patient-positive, cost-saving difference within your facility.

Q: IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TECHNATION READERS TO KNOW?
A:  If your facility uses patient scales in any capacity, Befour is a proven brand that should be considered prior to your next purchase.
