Broda Broda manufactures premium wheelchairs, seating products, and accessories for long-term care. When it comes to essential comfort, Broda is the premier choice.

With over 40 years of experience in long-term care, Broda understands that comfort and safety are essential. We offer a full line of chairs and wheelchairs, including products for tilt-in-space positioning, mobility, rehab, and other advanced care needs. Our goal is to provide patient and caregiver safety, ease of use, reliability, regulatory compliance, and return on investment. The Broda Comfort Tension Seating® “Suspension System” is the key to providing a comfortable, functional chair. Each strap conforms individually to the user’s body, suspending their weight across multiple points. This strapping system reduces discomfort from a bottomed-out cushion or extra pressure from a sling-type seat. The straps have “memory retention;" after applying pressure, they will return to their original shape within seconds. Combined with state-of-the-art tilt and recline functionality, Comfort Tension Seating® can reduce the risk of pressure injuries, falls, and other painful and costly injuries. When it comes to ensuring your comfort and safety in long-term care, Broda is the premier choice.

“What type of wheelchair do I need?” sounds like a simple question until you start looking at the options. They don't all solve the same mobility problems.

Someone who needs occasional help getting from one place to another may have very different seating needs from someone who spends much of the day in a wheelchair. A person who self-propels needs something different from a passenger who regularly travels in an NEMT vehicle.
That's why choosing a wheelchair starts with how it will be used.

Our guide walks through eight common types of wheelchairs, including transport options like the Broda Traversa™, and explains what each type is designed to do.

See how the different wheelchair types compare:

What does “WC19 compliant” mean? It's more than a label on a wheelchair.
WC19 establishes requirements for wheelchairs used as seats in motor vehicles. A compliant wheelchair must meet specific criteria, including a 30-mph frontal-impact crash test, four accessible securement points, compatibility with vehicle passenger safety belts, and proper labeling.

WC19 isn't the only consideration when choosing a transport wheelchair, but it tells you something important about how that wheelchair has been designed and tested for vehicle transportation.

This week, we're recognizing the pediatric nurses who care for children through some of their most difficult days and celebrate progress alongside their families.

That care takes clinical knowledge, patience, careful observation, and an understanding that every child responds differently.

Thank you to the pediatric nurses who make children and families the center of their work.

Two-person transports can complicate schedules, limit route flexibility, and tie up drivers who could be completing other trips.

The Traversa™ gives NEMT providers a more efficient option. One operator can safely manage the transport, freeing other drivers for additional trips without losing sight of passenger safety and comfort.

Resident transportation costs more than you realize.
When ambulance and stretcher transportation become the default for routine appointments, those recurring costs compound quickly.

For appropriate residents, the Traversa Transport Wheelchair offers another way to get from the facility to appointments while reducing transportation costs and risk.

Don’t Get Left Behind.
The equipment available to NEMT providers has come a long way. For many trips, a stretcher no longer represents the only option.

The Traversa Transport Wheelchair can handle up to 90% of trips that would traditionally require a stretcher. For appropriate passengers, it gives NEMT providers another transportation option.

One operator can manage the chair, while adjustable seat height, recline, and lateral-transfer capabilities support a wider range of passenger needs.

Some NEMT providers now rely solely on Traversa wheelchairs as the primary transport for their fleet.

Take another look at your equipment.
Does your fleet give your team the options today's NEMT industry demands?

Alzheimer’s disease looks a little different for every person. Over time, changes in balance, coordination, spatial awareness, or mobility affect how someone moves through the day.

World Alzheimer’s Day provides an opportunity to recognize the importance of paying attention. As abilities shift, caregivers and care teams can watch for signs that a mobility solution that worked well before may deserve another look.

Today, Broda joins families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals around the world in recognizing people living with Alzheimer’s disease.

A Legacy of Patient-Centered Care.
Dr. Helen Rodríguez-Trías believed medicine should begin with people.

The Puerto Rican pediatrician and public health leader spent her career advocating for patients whose voices were too often dismissed. She worked to improve care in underserved communities, championed informed consent, and encouraged healthcare professionals to understand the cultural backgrounds and lived experiences of the people they served.

In 1993, she became the first Latina president of the American Public Health Association.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, Broda honors Dr. Rodríguez-Trías and the Hispanic and Latino healthcare professionals who continue to bring knowledge, compassion, and a deep respect for the individual to patient care.

The best care starts with seeing the whole person.

The Best Seat in the House Might Have Wheels.
A wheelchair affects much more than how a resident gets from one room to another in long term care. It becomes part of meals, activities, appointments, conversations, and everyday care.

That experience gives care teams plenty to think about when they evaluate seating and mobility options. We’d love to hear what you’re seeing in your facility.

The Broda team is in Norfolk today for the VHCA-VCAL Convention & Trade Show. Stop by to see our wheelchairs in person and explore different seating and positioning options. Come and talk with our team about the residents in your care.

Find Broda at Booth #44. We can't wait to see you.
