Dry Flotation Technology
The Roho Quadtro Select Cushion works on the principle of dry flotation. This allows the cushion to track and move with the client, decreasing shear and friction. Constant restoring forces provide flotation and constant pressure, and low surface tension allows immersion and envelopment, decreasing tissue deformation.
The cushion utilises neoprene that has been treated to reduce friction, and small individual cells move with the patient to reduce shearing and improve ease of movement. These features work together to provide an exceptional level of pressure relief, helping to prevent pressure ulcers in high risk patients.
Suitable for High Risk Patients
Thanks to its exceptional level of pressure relief, the Roho Quadtro Select Low Profile Cushion is appropriate for high risk patients and may be suitable in the following circumstances with appropriate nursing care and guidance:
- Patients at high risk for skin breakdown
- Users with no sensation
- Clients with currently impaired skin
- Clients with a history of skin breakdown
- Users who are very thin and have prominent bony areas
- Patients who are obese
- Clients who need assistance with weight shifts and transfers (limited mobility)
The cushion is appropriate for individuals who have the ability to sit symmetrically and correct their own seating position, but are at risk from, or have a history of, skin breakdown.
