Overview
ROHO MINI_MAX Cushion
The ROHO MINI-MAX Cushion is a compact, adjustable air-cell cushion designed for applications where a lower-profile, portable seating surface is preferred. Its flexible air cells provide shock and impact absorption while adapting to changes in position and weight distribution across the cushion.
With air cells measuring approximately 1.25 inches high, the MINI-MAX has a considerably lower profile than traditional ROHO wheelchair cushions. This compact design makes it especially useful for sports, recreation, travel, bathing, and other short-term seating applications where portability and a responsive air surface are important.
The cushion uses an adjustable, air-filled cellular design made from durable black neoprene. Air pressure can be adjusted with a compatible ROHO hand pump, allowing the cushion to be configured according to the seating surface and manufacturer's setup instructions.
In addition to seating applications, Permobil identifies the MINI-MAX as suitable for supplemental support in areas such as the sacral, lumbar, or scapular region. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to move between locations or take along while traveling.
