He is also trained and certified to perform many in-office surgical procedures, including vasectomies. He is one of Nevada’s foremost doctors in performing colonoscopies and EGDs. So, as you can see the invention of the Biffy is just one more way Dr. Smith has found to change people’s lives for the better.

The Start of the Biffy

Biffy? Many people ask how and why we came up with such a different name and product. Well, the story starts 8 years ago with a doctor trying to improve the quality of cleanliness for a patient. A young boy who was born with congenital Phycomelia, a condition which means he has no arms below the elbows, had a difficult time cleaning himself. So, Dr. Smith started thinking of ways that he could help this boy clean himself after using the restroom, and the Biffy was born. After coming up with the contraption he realized that this was not only good for the disabled, but for everyone, because we all want and need to be clean. The next step was to name this new invention, and that idea also came from a patient. Dr. Smith has a British patient who excused herself one day to go use the biffy. What is a biffy? The patient explained that over in England that is one of the names they use for bathroom. He liked the name so much, and thought it so unique that he decided that would be the name of his new invention. The original Biffy was a rough version of the sleek Biffy we now offer. However, it did help out the patient it was intended to as well as start us on the track to where we are now. The Biffy has seen many design changes and mechanical improvements, but from the beginning to now everyone who has used one will tell you “I love my Biffy”.
