Safe Patient Handling

Since 1981, Broda has been providing high quality seating to improve the quality of life for individuals requiring long term seating.

By combining Broda’s Comfort Tension Seating™ with infinitely adjustable tilt & recline, Broda chairs provide safe, comfortable long term seating that can dramatically reduce the amount of falls that residents face. Broda chairs work well with “No-Lift” and “Fall Prevention” programs making them the ideal chair to integrate into your overall Safe Patient Handling practices.

• Broda offers tilt, recline and legrest adjustments that are operated by gas cylinders. The cylinders help to reduce the amount of lifting force required by caregivers, thus helping to provide ease of resident positioning.
• The Broda models 785 Tilt Recliner and Acute Care Chair offer a full recline position which allows residents to nap in the chair and also allows caregivers to change incontinence products while the resident remains in the chair. This means less transfers!
• The 785 Tilt Recliner/Elite Models and Acute Care Chair have removable wings (upper supports) and swing away/removable arms, which allow for safe and easy side transfers. The footrest flips up for safe and easy front transfers.
• The legrest extends with the recline function on the 785 Tilt Recliner and Acute Care Chair which eliminates the need to reposition the residents’ legs and the footrest which means less strain and time required of caregivers.
• The Broda chairs work well with most mechanical lifts. When using the deep wedge infinitely adjustable seat tilt, it creates an angle that accommodates the angle of the resident’s hips when in the lift sling. This allows for a safe and easy mechanical transfer.
• Broda chairs offer ideal positioning through a combination of tilt, recline, adjustable legrest angle, wings with shoulder bolsters and height adjustable arms. This allows for easy and effortless positioning for caregivers.
