Description
Key Features:
DRY FLOATATION Technology: This patented technology uses interconnected air cells that conform to an individual's shape and movements. This allows the body to immerse into the cushion, redistributing pressure across a larger surface area and minimizing friction and shear forces on the skin and soft tissues. This helps facilitate blood flow and protect against skin breakdown.
Low Profile Design: With 2.25-inch high air cells, this cushion offers a lower profile compared to ROHO's "High Profile" cushions, providing stability while still delivering excellent skin protection.
Single Compartment with Single Valve: The entire cushion is inflated through a single air valve, making setup and adjustment straightforward.
Adjustable: The cushion is designed to be adjustable to an individual's shape and weight, and can be easily adjusted while the user is seated, eliminating the need for transfers. It also adapts to changes in the individual's position over time.
Lightweight and Portable: Made from flame-resistant, black neoprene (not made with natural rubber latex), the cushion is lightweight, making it easy to handle and transport, minimizing user fatigue.
Washable and Repairable: The cushion itself can be easily cleaned with soap and water, and the included two-way stretch cover is machine washable. The neoprene material can also be patched and repaired to extend its lifespan.
Includes Accessories: Typically comes with a washable two-way stretch cover, a hand inflation pump, and a repair kit.
Uses:
The ROHO Low Profile Single Compartment Wheelchair Cushion (1R109LPC) is primarily used for individuals who:
Are at risk for skin/soft tissue breakdown and/or deep tissue injury (pressure ulcers/bedsores): This is its most significant use, as its pressure redistribution capabilities are highly effective in preventing and assisting in the healing of pressure injuries.
Have a history of skin/soft tissue breakdown, skin grafts, or myocutaneous flap surgery: Provides a protective environment for vulnerable skin areas.
Require accommodation of pelvic asymmetry: The conforming air cells can adapt to irregular body shapes, providing support and stability for users with postural challenges.
Have normal or impaired sensation: Offers protection whether the user has intact sensation or reduced sensation, which might prevent them from detecting pressure points.
Desire a softer and more comfortable seating option: Beyond clinical needs, many users simply find the air cell technology provides superior comfort for extended sitting.
Use manual or power wheelchairs: It is suitable for use on a wide variety of wheelchair types.
May need a secondary cushion: Can be used on office chairs, in adaptive sports equipment, or in cars for additional cushioning and protection.
