Tackle the Toughest NEMT Trips with the Traversa Wheelchair

In the Non-Emergency Medical Transport (NEMT) industry, drivers are more than just transport professionals; they are frontline caregivers who must be ready to provide exceptional service in the most challenging environments. Your commitment to passenger safety and comfort is unwavering, but is your equipment equally prepared for the task?

NEMT providers face a unique set of demands daily. From long-distance journeys to accommodating passengers with complex needs, the right equipment is not a luxury—it’s essential for operational success and patient wellbeing. The Traversa Transport Wheelchair is built to ensure your team is prepared for any challenge.

The Diverse Challenges of Modern NEMT

Every trip presents a different scenario, requiring equipment that is both robust and adaptable.

Long-Distance Trips

Extended travel times can be physically taxing for passengers. Discomfort can lead to agitation and health complications, turning a routine transport into a difficult situation. Equipment must provide sustained comfort and support to ensure a smooth journey from start to finish. Long-distance routes are key revenue streams, so provide your customers with top-tier comfort to keep them coming back.

Fragile and Sensitive Passengers

Transporting individuals who are elderly, post-operative, or have chronic pain requires a gentle touch. Standard wheelchairs can create pressure points and fail to absorb road vibrations, causing unnecessary pain and anxiety for your most vulnerable passengers. Showing care for the most vulnerable will create loyal customers.

Bariatric Clients

Safely maneuvering heavier passengers presents a significant challenge. It demands equipment with a higher weight capacity and a design that ensures stability during transfers and transport, protecting both the client and your staff from injury. Invest in equipment that can support both the passengers’ and your staff’s safety, no matter their size.

Behavioral and Cognitive Challenges

Passengers with conditions like dementia or autism can find travel stressful. This can sometimes result in unpredictable behavior. Your equipment must create a secure environment that promotes a sense of safety and minimizes the risk of harm. Broda has been engineering safe wheelchairs for over 40 years and knows exactly what these passengers require.

Incorrect Info at Booking

Often, your driver will arrive for what was supposed to be a wheelchair trip, but the client clearly needed a stretcher or gurney. What can you do? Instead of sending your driver back to headquarters for new equipment (or turning down the trip), invest in a wheelchair that can do it all! The Traversa functions as both a wheelchair and a reclinable stretcher alternative, handling up to 90% of trips that would typically require a gurney.

Broda is a trusted manufacturer of durable medical equipment, and we designed the Traversa Transport Wheelchair to excel in the most demanding NEMT trip types. It offers a revolutionary combination of strength, comfort, and adaptability that empowers your team to handle any situation with confidence.

Unmatched Durability for Demanding Schedules

NEMT is a high-volume business. Your equipment needs to withstand constant use, day in and day out. The Traversa is built with a 16-gauge, powder-coated tubular steel frame, making it one of the most durable transport wheelchairs available. This robust construction reduces maintenance downtime and lowers your total cost of ownership, making it a smart investment for your fleet.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

Keeping you and your passengers healthy is our priority. In a world where hygiene is paramount, the Traversa’s smooth, non-porous surfaces and removable components make it easy to clean and disinfect between rides. This helps you uphold the highest standards of care and operational efficiency.

Superior Comfort for the Longest Journeys

The Traversa features our proprietary Comfort Tension Seating®, which conforms to the individual’s body. This unique system of straps distributes pressure evenly, preventing discomfort and reducing the risk of pressure sores on long trips. For passengers, this means a more relaxed and comfortable experience. For drivers, it means fewer distractions and a safer ride.

Safe Maneuvering for Heavier Passengers

Engineered for strength, the Traversa safely accommodates passengers up to 450 lbs. Its sturdy frame and ergonomic design provide the stability needed to manage bariatric clients with confidence. This capability expands the range of services you can offer, increasing revenue and ensuring your staff have the right tool to perform their duties safely.
