Roho Single Valve Low Profile Pressure Relief Cushion
When dealing with patients that remain in a sedentary position for long periods of time, it's vital that you can provide effective pressure relief that reduces the risk of pressure ulcers. The Roho Single Valve Low Profile Pressure Relief Cushion is a 6cm thick air cell pressure relief cushion that provides exceptional pressure reduction.
The Roho cushion is constructed from interconnected air cells that provide an adjustable, low deformation, counter-pressure environment. This aids in the healing of ischemic ulcers (pressure sores at the base of the spine, lower lumbar and around the buttocks).
Key Features of the Roho Single Valve Pressure Relief Cushion
The key features of the Roho Single Valve Low Profile Cushion are:
- Interconnected air cells for adjustable pressure relief
- Dry flotation technology provides fantastic pressure relief for high risk patients
- Versatile design suitable for a huge range of applications
- Low profile design for greater discretion of use
- Available in a range of sizes to suit your needs and uses
Dry Flotation Technology
The Roho Low Profile 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 low surface tension allows immersion and envelopment, decreasing tissue deformation.
The cushion's neoprene has been treated to reduce friction, and small individual cells move with the patient to reduce shearing and make movement easier. These features work together to provide an exceptional level of pressure relief, helping to prevent pressure ulcers in high risk patients.
Low Profile Design
Just 6cm thick, the Roho Pressure Relief Cushion provides exceptional pressure relief in a low profile design. This is ideal for patients or users who are looking for a cushion with greater discretion.
Great for a Range of Applications
The cushion is suitable for patients who can sit symmetrically and correct their own seating position but are at risk from, or have a history of, skin breakdown. Its highly versatile design makes the cushion suitable for a range of circumstances, including:
- Those at high risk for skin breakdown
- Patients with no sensation
- Patients with currently impaired skin
- Users with a history of skin breakdown
- Those who are very thin and have prominent bony areas
