The cellular design and the soft pliable material allow the individual to be immersed into the cushion for maximum pressure redistribution, while decreasing friction and shear. The simple adjustment allows the cushions to fit the shape of the individual, minimizing tissue deformation and maximizing blood flow.
Washable
Cushion can be easily cleaned with soap and water. Cover is machine washable.
Repairable
The flame-resistant, black neoprene (not made with natural rubber latex) cushion can be patched or repaired to extend its use.
Skin Protection
Based on forty years of research and client experience, our patented ROHO DRY FLOATATION® Technology provides unparalleled performance in facilitating blood flow by fitting, matching and tracking the shape of a person.
Shape Fitting
The unique cellular design of the HIGH PROFILE allows the cushion to constantly conform and track movements of the body. The simple adjustment and conformity of the cells accommodates and meets the unique skin/soft tissue integrity needs of each individual throughout the day.
Convenience
All postural adjustments are made while the user is seated, eliminating the need for transfer on and off the chair during the evaluation process.

Skin & Soft Tissue Protection
Protecting your skin is one of the most important things
to do when you’re in a wheelchair. Individuals who use
a wheelchair as their primary means of mobility often
have sitting times of more than 10 hours per day. These
sitting times, in combination with a reduced ability to
change position and decreased sensation, can put you
at high risk for skin breakdown. In fact, the EPUAP has
identified immobility as the number one risk factor for
pressure injuries.
Pressure cannot be eliminated in seating, so instead, we
must focus on the redistribution of pressure. The 2019
EPUAP clinical practice guideline (CPG) for pressure
ulcer/injury prevention states that pressure injuries
are the result of pressure or pressure in combination
with shear. When tissues are deformed, a number
of unhealthy conditions can occur, including direct
damage to cells, inflammation, edema, blood flow
restriction, and lymphatic obstruction, all of which are
pathways to cell and tissue death and pressure injuries.
The CPG advises that wheelchair cushions can mitigate
pressure injury risk by redistributing pressure (through
immersion, envelopment, or offloading), managing
friction and shear, and managing microclimate. CPG
also notes that cushions alone cannot prevent or heal
pressure injuries, but are a key part of an overall plan
of care. Selection should depend on the individual’s
specific needs.
Positioning
Good posture decreases pain and reduces your risk
of falling out of your wheelchair and being injured.
Proper positioning also safeguards the integrity of
your bone structure. But did you know that proper
positioning also improves your ability to see more of
your surroundings, to breathe and swallow better, and
have better digestion?
When you are properly positioned, you will be more
comfortable and less tired, and you will have better
ablility to interact with your environment. Improper
positioning can cause you serious pain and can even
lead to long-term structural issues. That’s why our
cushions are made with a goal to help promote good
posture.
