Overview
ROHO Mid Profile Cushion
The ROHO MID PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion is an adjustable air-cell wheelchair cushion designed to provide pressure redistribution, skin protection, and a responsive seating surface. Its interconnected air cells allow air to move throughout the cushion, helping the surface conform to the seated shape while responding to changes in position and weight distribution.
The MID PROFILE model features approximately 3.25-inch air cells, placing it between the 4.25-inch HIGH PROFILE and 2.25-inch LOW PROFILE versions. This intermediate height provides a balance of immersion and overall cushion height while retaining the adjustable characteristics of ROHO air-cell technology.
Unlike the ROHO QUADTRO SELECT, which separates the cushion into four adjustable air compartments, the ROHO MID PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion uses one continuous interconnected air chamber. Air moves between the cells as pressure shifts across the cushion, creating a straightforward system that can be adjusted through a single inflation valve.
Inflation is adjusted with a compatible ROHO hand pump and set according to the manufacturer's recommended hand-check procedure. With multiple width and depth options available, the MID PROFILE cushion can be matched to a variety of compatible manual and power wheelchair seating systems.
Key Features
3.25-Inch MID PROFILE Air Cells
The MID PROFILE cushion features approximately 3.25-inch air cells when unloaded. Its height falls between the HIGH PROFILE and LOW PROFILE models, providing a middle option within the ROHO Single Compartment series.
Single Compartment Air System
All air cells are interconnected within one adjustable 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 seated surface to immerse into the cushion while the cells conform around body contours. This helps distribute pressure across the contact area while maintaining a responsive seating surface.
Adjustable Inflation
Air can be added or removed using a compatible ROHO hand pump. Rather than simply inflating the cushion until firm, the inflation level is adjusted according to ROHO's recommended setup procedure.
Responsive Air-Cell Design
The interconnected cells respond as movement and weight distribution change, allowing the cushion to continually adapt across the seating surface.
Pressure Redistribution
The cushion's adjustable air cells are designed to provide immersion and envelopment while redistributing pressure across the seated contact area.
Skin Protection
Permobil classifies the ROHO Single Compartment series as an adjustable skin-protection wheelchair cushion designed to help manage pressure, friction, and shear at the seating surface.
Lightweight Construction
The air-cell construction keeps the cushion relatively lightweight and makes it easy to remove for cleaning, inflation adjustment, inspection, or transport. Actual product weight varies according to cushion size.
Washable Construction
The air cushion can be cleaned with soap and water according to Permobil's instructions. The removable cover can be cleaned separately.
Repairable Air Cushion
The neoprene construction allows suitable small punctures to be repaired using an approved ROHO repair kit rather than requiring immediate replacement of the entire cushion.
Multiple Size Options
The ROHO MID PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion is available in numerous width and depth combinations for use with different wheelchair seating dimensions.

FAQ's
What is the ROHO MID PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion?
The ROHO MID 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 MID PROFILE air cells?
The MID PROFILE version has air cells that measure approximately 3.25 inches high when unloaded. Actual seated height varies based on inflation level, cushion size, seating configuration, and weight distribution.
What does Single Compartment mean?
Single Compartment means that all of the cushion's air cells are interconnected within one air chamber. Air can flow between the individual cells rather than being separated into multiple independently controlled sections.
What is the difference between the ROHO MID PROFILE and QUADTRO SELECT Mid Profile?
Both cushions use approximately 3.25-inch air cells, but their air systems are different. The standard ROHO MID PROFILE uses one interconnected air compartment. The QUADTRO SELECT Mid Profile uses four independently controlled compartments and an ISOFLO Memory Control for managing airflow between those sections.
Does the MID PROFILE Single Compartment cushion have ISOFLO?
No. The standard ROHO MID PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion does not use an ISOFLO Memory Control. ISOFLO is found on SELECT Series cushions such as the ROHO QUADTRO SELECT.
How is the cushion inflated?
The cushion is inflated using a compatible ROHO hand pump through its inflation valve. After initial inflation, air is released as needed until the appropriate setting is established using the manufacturer's recommended hand-check procedure.
Should the cushion feel completely firm?
No. ROHO air cushions are designed to operate with a specific amount of air that allows immersion into the cells. The cushion should be adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions rather than inflated to maximum firmness.
How often should the inflation level be checked?
The cushion's inflation should be checked regularly according to ROHO's setup and maintenance instructions. It should also be checked whenever a noticeable change in cushion performance or seating position occurs.
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 sizes. 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 MID PROFILE be used on a manual wheelchair?
Yes. The cushion may be used with compatible manual wheelchair seating systems when the selected cushion dimensions and overall seating configuration are appropriate.
Can it be used on a power wheelchair?
Yes. The ROHO MID PROFILE may also be used with compatible power wheelchair seating systems when the seat dimensions and cushion configuration are appropriate.
What is the difference between MID PROFILE and HIGH PROFILE?
The MID PROFILE cushion has approximately 3.25-inch air cells, while the HIGH PROFILE uses approximately 4.25-inch cells. The HIGH PROFILE provides greater available immersion, while the MID PROFILE maintains a lower overall cushion height.
What is the difference between MID PROFILE and LOW PROFILE?
The MID PROFILE uses approximately 3.25-inch air cells compared with approximately 2.25-inch cells on the LOW PROFILE. The MID PROFILE provides an additional inch of cell height while using the same basic Single Compartment air concept.
How do I clean the ROHO MID PROFILE cushion?
The air cushion can be cleaned with soap and water according to Permobil's instructions. The cushion cover should be removed and cleaned separately. Follow the supplied product manual for complete cleaning, disinfecting, drying, and reassembly instructions.
Can a puncture in the cushion be repaired?
Suitable small punctures may be repaired using an approved ROHO repair kit. Damage involving the inflation valve, seams, or extensive material failure may require further evaluation or replacement.
What warranty does the ROHO MID PROFILE include?
Permobil currently lists a 24-month limited manufacturer's warranty for the cushion and a 6-month limited warranty for the cover. Warranty coverage is subject to the manufacturer's current terms and exclusions.
