This cushion consists of a customised J3 contoured foam base with an adjustable Roho Dry Flotation support pad inserted into the rear well area of the cushion. The foam base is designed to increase cushion stability and enhance positioning, and the Dry Flotation pad is designed to provide pressure reduction to the ischial, sacrum and coccyx regions. The manufacturer states that this cushion is designed for users at moderate to high risk of skin breakdown.

More Details

Material
* The Roho cushion is made of flame resistant, neoprene rubber
* The customised Jay contoured foam base is made of flame resistant, fluid resistant, high density, closed cell foam

Cover
* Synthetic material two way stretch cover with encased comfort foam
* The fluid resistant cover is removable and machine washable. It is made from two way stretch material with encased comfort foam

Dry Flotation Technology
* The manufacturer states there are 4 principles of the Dry Flotation Technology:
* Roho cushions are constructed of individual cells that can move independently of each other, enabling the cushion to move with the user and contour to their shape
* The cellular design enables the user to immerse into the cushion creating low surface tension
* As a result of immersing into the cushion, forces and pressures pushing back against the person are kept equal at all points, resulting in greater contact area between the user and cushion
* The manufacturer indicates that the design of the surface of each cell, as well as the ability of cells to move independently, reduces friction and shear forces

Features
* Comes standard with a single valve Roho insert,. Dual valve insert is optional
* Fetures a ring of larger, shaped, cells surrounding a centre well of smaller sized cells
* The neoprene rubber of the support pad is able to be patched or repaired if required due to punctures
* The manufacturer states that the separate air cells facilitate air circulation
* The cushion is provided with a cover, repair kit, hand inflation pump and operating instructions.

Adjustment
* It is recommended that professional advice be sought prior to and during inflation of the support pad to ensure appropriate use and inflation levels
* Place the cushion on the chair or wheelchair on which it is to be used correct side up with access to the air valve which is placed on one side of the cushion underneath the foam base
* Open the air valve by turning counter clockwise
* Place the flexible hose of the hand pump over the valve and over inflate the support pad so it begins to slightly arch upwards
* Remove the pump and quickly close the air valve by turning it in a clockwise direction
* The user needs to sit centrally on the Roho cushion ensuring posture is correct.
Open the air valve allowing air to be released and the user to immerse into the cushion
* The manufacturer states that there should be approximately 1.25cm of air between the lowest bony prominence of the user and the bottom of the cushion (this may be gauged by placing a hand between the lowest bony prominence of the user and the cushion)
* Pinch the air valve to prevent any more air escaping and then close

Jay Contoured Foam Base
* A customised J3 foam base made from flame resistant, fluid resistant, high density, closed cell foam
* Accommodates lower extremity, and pelvic, alignment and control

Application
The manufacturer states this cushion is most effective for users who
* Are at moderate to high risk of skin breakdown
* Experience chronic pain
* Require increased stability for transfers
* Require support for lower extremity positioning
* Are able to perform independent weight shifts

Place Of Manufacture

The Roho Group (United States of America)
