Scan-Med a|s Norway is a privately held Norwegian distributor of medical technical equipment, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Drammen. The company supplies hospitals, general practitioners (fastleger), and nursing homes (sykehjem) in Norway with branded medical devices across cardiology (Cardioline EKG and Holter monitors), pulmonology (Medikro spirometers), blood pressure measurement (Welch Allyn Connex ProBP 2400 and ProBP 2000), and dermatology/phototherapy (Medisun UV/PDT systems such as SkinFlex M, and Daavlin-referenced UV treatment).

Beyond hardware sales, Scan-Med generates recurring service revenue through periodic maintenance, repairs, exchange/loan programs, and flexible support agreements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via inquiry-based quotations.

Scan-Med operates within the Scan-Med group, which extends pan-Scandinavian coverage through subsidiary entities in Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting Norwegian healthcare institutions. The company holds Miljøfyrt\u00e5rn (Environmental Lighthouse) certification (first certified June 16, 2009; re-certified June 2012), supporting public-sector procurement positioning. The active owner participates in firm operations, and there are no external institutional investors or public-market listings disclosed.
