Broda® vs Gurney
Gurneys are for emergencies, Brodas are for NEMT
What a Broda® Synthesis chair offers that a gurney does not:
- Significantly increased safety for everyone (patients, transporter/transferer and company.)
- Increased comfort and greater clinical benefits for passenger and patients.
- Increased efficiency
- 25% to 50% savings on payroll or out-sourced transports.
Since 95% of patients scheduled for a non-emergency gurney transport can sit up in a hospital bed, they can transport on the Broda® Synthesis chair. Why transport any other way?
