ROHO High Profile Cushion

ROHO High Profile Cushion

The ROHO HIGH PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion is an adjustable air-cell wheelchair cushion designed for pressure redistribution and skin protection while providing a responsive seating surface. Its interconnected air cells allow air to move throughout the cushion, helping the seating surface conform to the shape of the body and respond as position and weight distribution change.

The HIGH PROFILE model uses approximately 4.25-inch air cells, providing the greatest cell height within ROHO's standard Single Compartment cushion series. The additional height allows greater immersion than the MID PROFILE and LOW PROFILE versions while maintaining the flexible characteristics of ROHO air-cell technology.

Unlike the ROHO QUADTRO SELECT, which separates air into four adjustable compartments, the ROHO HIGH PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion uses one continuous interconnected air chamber. Air flows between the cells as the seated position changes, creating a simple adjustable system without separate compartment controls.

Inflation can be adjusted using a ROHO hand pump and the manufacturer's recommended hand-check procedure. Available in a wide selection of widths and depths, the cushion can be matched to many compatible manual and power wheelchair seating systems.

Key Features

4.25-Inch HIGH PROFILE Air Cells: The HIGH PROFILE cushion features approximately 4.25-inch air cells when unloaded. This is the tallest cell option in ROHO's Single Compartment series and provides greater available immersion than the MID PROFILE and LOW PROFILE models.

Single Compartment Air System: All of the air cells are interconnected within one adjustable compartment. Air can move between the cells as weight and seated position change, allowing the cushion to continuously adapt across the seating surface.

ROHO DRY FLOATATION Technology: ROHO's air-cell design allows the seated surface to immerse into the cushion while the flexible cells conform around body contours. This design helps distribute pressure across the contact area.

Adjustable Inflation: The amount of air inside the cushion can be increased or decreased using a compatible ROHO hand pump. Proper inflation is established using the manufacturer's hand-check procedure rather than simply inflating the cushion until it feels firm.

Responsive Air-Cell Design: The interconnected air cells respond as position and weight distribution change, allowing the cushion surface to adjust rather than remaining fixed.

Skin Protection: The Single Compartment cushion is classified by Permobil as an adjustable skin-protection wheelchair cushion and is designed to help manage pressure, friction, and shear at the seated surface.

Lightweight Construction: The cushion is lightweight and easy to remove from the wheelchair for inflation adjustment, cleaning, inspection, or transport. Weight varies according to the selected size.

Washable Cushion: The neoprene air cushion can be cleaned with soap and water according to Permobil's care instructions. The removable cushion cover can be cleaned separately.

Repairable Neoprene Construction: The cushion is manufactured from flame-resistant black neoprene and is not made with natural rubber latex. Small repairable punctures may be patched using an approved ROHO repair kit.

Multiple Size Options: The ROHO HIGH PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion is manufactured in numerous width and depth combinations, allowing the cushion dimensions to be matched closely to the wheelchair seating surface.

FAQ's

What is the ROHO HIGH PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion?

The ROHO HIGH PROFILE is an adjustable wheelchair cushion made from interconnected air cells. Air moves throughout one continuous compartment, allowing the cushion to conform to the seated surface while providing adjustable pressure redistribution and skin protection.

How high are the air cells?

The HIGH PROFILE version uses air cells that measure approximately 4.25 inches high when the cushion is unloaded. Actual seated height varies depending on cushion inflation, size, seating configuration, and weight distribution.

What does Single Compartment mean?

Single Compartment means that all of the cushion's air cells are connected within one air chamber. Air is free to move between the individual cells as the seated position and pressure distribution change.

What is the difference between the ROHO HIGH PROFILE and QUADTRO SELECT High Profile?

Both models use approximately 4.25-inch air cells, but their air systems are different. The standard ROHO HIGH PROFILE uses one interconnected air compartment. The QUADTRO SELECT High Profile divides the cushion into four adjustable compartments and adds an ISOFLO Memory Control for managing airflow between those sections.

Does the ROHO HIGH PROFILE have ISOFLO Memory Control?

No. The standard ROHO HIGH PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion does not use ISOFLO Memory Control. ISOFLO is used on models such as the ROHO QUADTRO SELECT and CONTOUR SELECT.

How is the cushion inflated?

The cushion is inflated using a compatible ROHO hand pump. After initial inflation, air is released until the proper setting is reached using Permobil's recommended hand-check procedure.

Should the cushion be fully inflated until firm?

No. A ROHO cushion is designed to operate with a specific amount of air rather than at maximum firmness. The manufacturer recommends using the hand-check procedure to establish the proper inflation level.

How often should the inflation level be checked?

The cushion's inflation should be checked regularly according to Permobil's instructions. The inflation level should also be checked whenever a change in seating position or cushion performance is noticed.

How do I choose the correct ROHO cushion size?

Measure the usable width and depth of the wheelchair seat and compare those measurements with the available cushion dimensions. The selected cushion should fit securely on the seating surface without being compressed by the wheelchair frame or extending beyond the intended seating area.

Can the ROHO HIGH PROFILE be used with a manual wheelchair?

Yes. The cushion can be used with compatible manual wheelchair seating systems when the selected size and seating configuration are appropriate.

Can it be used with a power wheelchair?

Yes. The cushion can also be used with compatible power wheelchair seating systems when the cushion dimensions and overall seating setup are appropriate.

What is the difference between HIGH PROFILE and MID PROFILE?

The HIGH PROFILE cushion uses approximately 4.25-inch air cells, while the MID PROFILE uses approximately 3.25-inch air cells. The HIGH PROFILE provides greater available immersion, while the MID PROFILE maintains a lower overall cushion height.

What is the difference between HIGH PROFILE and LOW PROFILE?

The HIGH PROFILE uses approximately 4.25-inch cells compared with approximately 2.25-inch cells on the LOW PROFILE cushion. Both use the same basic Single Compartment air concept, but the HIGH PROFILE provides substantially more cell height and available immersion.

Is the cushion made with natural rubber latex?

No. Permobil identifies the cushion as flame-resistant black neoprene that is not made with natural rubber latex.

How do I clean the cushion?

The cushion may be cleaned with soap and water according to Permobil's instructions. The cover should be removed and cleaned separately. Follow the supplied operation manual for complete cleaning, disinfecting, drying, and reassembly procedures.

Can the cushion be repaired if it develops a puncture?

Small punctures in appropriate areas of the neoprene cushion may be repaired using an approved ROHO repair kit. Damage involving the valve, seams, or extensive material failure may require additional evaluation or replacement.

What warranty does the ROHO HIGH PROFILE include?

Permobil currently lists a 24-month limited warranty for the Single Compartment cushion and a 6-month limited warranty for the cushion cover. Warranty coverage remains subject to the manufacturer's current terms and exclusions.
