OREM, Utah, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mity Inc. announces that sales of its new Traversa chair serving the non-emergency medical transport ("NEMT") market have topped $1.6 million since introduction in early 2024. 

Mity Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of commercial furniture selling into a variety of markets. Broda Seating is a division of Mity which designs and manufactures various types of wheelchairs (i.e., bariatric, pedal, positioning, and rehabilitation), hygiene chairs, and support accessories (i.e., head/back/arm support and cushions) for the senior living and hospitality end market.  In 2024, Broda introduced the new Traversa line specifically for the NEMT market. 

The Traversa chair is the NEMT industry’s first alternative to traditional stretchers and gurneys. The Traversa can recline up to 90 degrees and tilt up to 20 degrees. Unlike stretchers and gurneys that require multiple operators, the Traversa wheelchair only requires one operator, resulting in significant labor cost savings for the NEMT service provider. The Traversa chair has been one of Broda’s most successful and popular new product launches.

Broda Seating will be showing the new Traversa chair at the Vancouver Rehab Equipment Expo (REE) in Vancouver, British Columbia, on March 4.
