WHY BRODA
The Broda mission is to provide exceptional comfort for geriatrics and seniors who need clinically proven support in assisted living, skilled nursing, hospice and palliative care, home health and independent living, as well as other environments.
They have a full line of tilt-in-space positioning chairs and these chairs have been improving people’s lives for more than 35 years. For some, having the appropriate chair or wheelchair from Broda means relief from chronic pain, for others, it’s maintaining independence, and in many cases, it means getting out of bed for the first time in months to engage in their surroundings.
FOCUS HEALTH PRODUCTS finds that Broda chairs in particular have different features that allow them to maneuver better for indoor or outdoor use or the ability to be used on a DATS bus.
​
We also find that the greatest way BRODA is able to provide exceptional comfort is in the technology it uses to create greater skin health and therefore fewer compression sores.
​
Through Broda's Comfort Tension Strapping System, Broda is able to minimize skin breakdown and wear due to a more healthy and comfortable distribution of weight, as well as better blood flow. This is extremely important, especially for anyone who has suffered from Decubitus Ulcers or other types of pressure wounds.
​
The Comfort Tension Strapping System prevents the bottoming out effect which occurs with standard wheelchair seating surfaces. Each strap conforms individually to the person’s body, thus suspending the weight of the person across multiple points. This distributes the individual’s weight more evenly and greatly reduces the amount of pressure being placed on any one area. The even distribution of the patient’s weight allows for decreased pressure and improved blood flow allowing for greater retention of tissue health which is vital for maintaining skin integrity. Our Comfort Tension Strapping systems also allows for improved airflow which aids in decreasing the buildup of heat and moisture as well as decreasing the development of yeast and bacteria while improving seating comfort.
A SUMMARY OF THE BENEFITS
PATIENT BENEFITS: Increases sitting tolerance with improved endurance for participation in daily activities. Tilt up to 45° and recline up to 90° provide effective pressure redistribution. Posterior tilt effectively opens the diaphragm improving digestion, oxygenation, and organ function. Infinitely adjustable positioning and dynamic seating reduce agitation and provides contentment. Front-pivot seat tilt allows patients to maintain a forward line of sight enhancing socialization and engagement.
CAREGIVER AND FACILITY BENEFITS: Optimum safety and dynamic functionality withstands severe agitation and involuntary movements. Lay flat feature facilitates safer and easier supine transfers reducing the risks of patient falls and injuries. Proper seating alignment decreases patient fatigue and postural deviations reducing the use of restraints. Enhanced positioning and innovative features allow for fewer transfers promoting safe patient handling. Quality construction and superior durability reduce equipment, maintenance and replacement costs.
