Discover the Versatility of the Traversa for Medical Transport

Medical transport providers and healthcare facilities require reliable, comfortable, and versatile equipment to meet the diverse needs of their patients. The Traversa Transport Wheelchair, an innovative alternative to traditional stretchers and basic transport wheelchairs, is designed to provide exceptional comfort while maintaining the functionality caregivers rely on. But how do you know when the Traversa is the ideal choice? Let’s explore how this versatile solution can elevate your ability to serve patients effectively while boosting your NEMT business.

When Is the Traversa the Right Choice?

The Traversa was designed with patients’ comfort and care in mind. It’s perfect for trips where comfort, stability, and flexibility matter most.

1. Patients Who Desire a More Comfortable Trip

Unlike traditional stretchers or basic wheelchairs, the Traversa prioritizes patient comfort. It features Broda’s proprietary Comfort Tension Seating® system, which reduces the stress and discomfort often associated with long transport trips. The Comfort Tension Seating system is comprised of flexible, adaptive straps that mold to the passenger’s body, taking away painful pressure points. Combined with ergonomic padding, adjustable sizing, and no-lift tilt and recline, the Traversa creates a positive experience for both the passenger and the driver.

2. Patients Who Are Bed-Bound but Medically Stable

For medically stable patients who cannot sit comfortably in a standard wheelchair, the Traversa provides an ideal solution. No longer must these individuals be confined to a stretcher and experience the discomfort and stigma of an ambulance ride. Whether you’re transporting a patient between healthcare facilities or assisting them on outpatient trips, the Traversa offers the support and mobility they need without sacrificing dignity or safety.

3. Patients Weighing Less than 450 lbs.

The Traversa is a durable and sturdy solution that can accommodate a wide range of patients weighing up to 450 lbs. It’s built to provide reliable performance while maintaining ease of use for caregivers.

NEMT operators also love the adjustable nature of the Traversa. Drivers can widen or narrow the seat, raise or lower the arm rests, and adjust the shoulder supports up, down, inwards, and outwards. Finding the perfect combination provides the ideal fit, every time.

Why the Traversa Is a Must-Have for NEMT Professionals

The Traversa stands out as a top choice for non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) services because it excels in combining comfort, ease of use, and versatility. Here are a few key benefits that make it an essential addition to your transport equipment:

• Enhanced Patient Satisfaction: A comfortable patient is a satisfied patient. The Traversa ensures a positive experience, helping to enhance your reputation for quality care.
• Efficient Transport Process: The Traversa’s intuitive design allows for quick and easy transfers, reducing patient handling time for caregivers.
• Broad Versatility: Whether you’re transporting a senior to a dentist appointment or assisting a bed-bound patient, the Traversa adapts seamlessly to meet a wide variety of transport scenarios.
• Improved Caregiver Confidence: With its focus on safety and practicality, the Traversa allows caregivers to confidently manage patient transport with minimal risk.

Real-World Applications of the Traversa

The possibilities with the Traversa are endless. In fact, many NEMT operators have expanded their service lines and increased their income. Many other business owners are offering Traversa trips as a premium by renting the wheelchair for the duration of the trip so the patient can benefit from increased comfort at their destination as well.

• Facility-to-Facility Transfers: Provide a smooth and comfortable experience for patients moving between hospitals, rehab centers, and nursing homes.
• Outpatient Medical Appointments: Offer a stress-free way for bed-bound patients to attend check-ups, dialysis sessions, or physical therapy.
• Medical & Dental Procedures: If required, the Traversa can serve as an exam or procedure table. Simply recline the wheelchair and raise it to the practitioner’s desired height. This is ideal for dentist appointments, dermatology, and minor procedures.
• Imaging Appointments: Transferring to and from an imaging table is challenging for passengers with limited mobility, especially if they have a condition that makes them more susceptible to injury, such as osteoporosis. The Traversa raises to the height of the imaging table to reduce the risk of falls.
• Event Transport Services: From weddings to graduations, the Traversa offers a dignified and comfortable way for patients to attend events with their loved ones.

It’s no secret – the Traversa Transport Wheelchair has endless applications. Every day, NEMT operators are inventing new ways to increase their profits with the Traversa.
