ROHO Low Profile Cushion

ROHO Low Profile Cushion

The ROHO LOW PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion is an adjustable air-cell wheelchair cushion designed to provide pressure redistribution, skin protection, and a responsive seating surface while maintaining a lower overall cushion height. Its interconnected air cells allow air to move throughout the cushion, helping the surface conform to the seated shape and respond as position and weight distribution change.

The LOW PROFILE model features approximately 2.25-inch air cells, making it the lowest of the three ROHO Single Compartment profile options. Compared with the MID PROFILE and HIGH PROFILE versions, the lower cell height provides a more compact seating surface while retaining the adjustable characteristics of ROHO air-cell technology.

Unlike the ROHO QUADTRO SELECT, which divides the cushion into four independently controlled air sections, the standard ROHO LOW PROFILE uses one continuous interconnected air compartment. Air flows freely between the cells through a single air chamber, creating a straightforward system that can be adjusted through the cushion's inflation valve.

Inflation is adjusted with a compatible ROHO hand pump and set using the manufacturer's recommended hand-check procedure. The LOW PROFILE cushion is available in multiple width and depth combinations for use with a variety of compatible manual and power wheelchair seating systems.

Key Features

2.25-Inch LOW PROFILE Air Cells

The LOW PROFILE cushion uses approximately 2.25-inch air cells when unloaded. This is the lowest cell height offered within the ROHO Single Compartment series.

Single Compartment Air System

All of the cushion's air cells are interconnected within one adjustable air chamber. Air can move throughout the cushion as seated position and pressure distribution change.

ROHO DRY FLOATATION Technology

ROHO's flexible air-cell design allows the seating surface to provide immersion and envelopment while adapting to body contours. The interconnected cells distribute forces across the seated contact area while moving with changes in position.

Adjustable Inflation

Air can be added or removed through the inflation valve using a compatible ROHO hand pump. The cushion should be adjusted according to the manufacturer's hand-check procedure rather than simply inflated until firm.

Pressure Redistribution

The interconnected air cells are designed to allow immersion into the cushion while distributing pressure across a broader seating surface.

Responsive Air-Cell Design

The cushion responds as movement and weight distribution change, allowing the air cells to continually adapt rather than maintaining a fixed shape.

Skin Protection

Permobil classifies the ROHO Single Compartment series as an adjustable skin-protection wheelchair cushion under HCPCS E2622/E2623.

Lower Seating Height

The 2.25-inch LOW PROFILE cell design provides a lower overall cushion height than the 3.25-inch MID PROFILE and 4.25-inch HIGH PROFILE versions.

Lightweight Construction

The air-cell design makes the cushion easy to remove from the wheelchair for adjustment, cleaning, inspection, or transport. Actual product weight varies by cushion size.

Washable Construction

The ROHO cushion can be cleaned with mild soap and water according to Permobil's care instructions. The removable cushion cover should be cleaned separately according to the manufacturer's directions.

Repairable Air-Cell Design

Suitable small punctures may be repaired using an approved ROHO repair method or repair kit, helping extend the useful life of the cushion when the damage is appropriate for repair.

Multiple Size Options

The ROHO LOW PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion is available in numerous width and depth combinations, allowing the cushion size to be matched closely to the wheelchair seating surface.

FAQ's

What is the ROHO LOW PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion?

The ROHO LOW PROFILE is an adjustable wheelchair seat cushion made with interconnected air cells. The cells share one continuous air chamber, allowing air to move throughout the cushion as seated position and pressure distribution change.

How tall are the LOW PROFILE air cells?

The LOW PROFILE version has air cells that measure approximately 2.25 inches high when unloaded. Actual seated height varies depending on the cushion's inflation setting and seating configuration.

What does Single Compartment mean?

Single Compartment means that all of the cushion's air cells are connected within one continuous air chamber. Air can flow between the cells instead of being separated into independently controlled sections.

What is the difference between the ROHO LOW PROFILE and QUADTRO SELECT Low Profile?

Both use approximately 2.25-inch air cells, but their air systems are different. The standard ROHO LOW PROFILE uses one interconnected air compartment. The QUADTRO SELECT Low Profile uses four separate compartments and an ISOFLO Memory Control for managing airflow between those sections.

Does the ROHO LOW PROFILE have ISOFLO Memory Control?

No. The standard Single Compartment LOW PROFILE does not use ISOFLO Memory Control. ISOFLO is a feature of SELECT Series cushions such as the ROHO QUADTRO SELECT.

How is the cushion inflated?

The cushion is inflated through its valve using a compatible ROHO hand pump. After initial inflation, air is released until the proper setting is established using the manufacturer's recommended hand-check procedure.

Should the cushion be inflated until it feels firm?

No. ROHO cushions are designed to operate with a specific amount of air that allows proper immersion into the air cells. Over-inflation or under-inflation can reduce the intended performance of the cushion.

How much air should be in the cushion?

Permobil's hand-check guidance recommends approximately 1/2 to 1 inch of air between the lowest bony prominence and the seating surface when the cushion is properly adjusted.

How often should the inflation level be checked?

Permobil recommends performing a hand check regularly, including a daily check of the cushion's inflation level. Air should be readjusted when needed.

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 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 LOW PROFILE be used on a manual wheelchair?

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

Can it be used on a power wheelchair?

Yes. The cushion may also be used with compatible power wheelchair seating systems when the seat dimensions and cushion configuration are appropriate.

What is the difference between LOW PROFILE and MID PROFILE?

The LOW PROFILE has approximately 2.25-inch air cells, while the MID PROFILE uses approximately 3.25-inch cells. The LOW PROFILE provides a lower overall seating height.

What is the difference between LOW PROFILE and HIGH PROFILE?

The LOW PROFILE uses approximately 2.25-inch air cells compared with approximately 4.25-inch cells on the HIGH PROFILE version. The HIGH PROFILE offers greater available immersion, while the LOW PROFILE provides the lowest cell height in the Single Compartment series.

How do I clean the cushion?

The cushion can be cleaned with mild soap and water according to Permobil's care instructions. The cover should be removed and cleaned separately. Allow the cushion and cover to dry completely before reassembly.

Can a puncture in the cushion be repaired?

Suitable small punctures may be repaired using an approved ROHO repair method. Damage involving the valve, seams, or extensive areas of the cushion may require additional evaluation or replacement.

What warranty does the ROHO LOW PROFILE include?

Permobil currently lists a 24-month limited manufacturer's warranty for the Single Compartment cushion and a 6-month limited warranty for the cover.
