Roho cushions

Roho cushions use individual air cells that can be adjusted to help provide very high levels of pressure redistribution. They are often used for people at high risk of pressure injury, especially wheelchair users who sit for long periods each day.

Disclaimer
Roho cushions must be set up correctly and regularly checked. Always use them under guidance from an allied health professional or nurse.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Roho pressure care cushions

? Who are Roho cushions suitable for?

Roho cushions are typically used for people at high risk of pressure injury, people with limited sensation or muscle bulk, or those with a history of pressure injuries. They are widely prescribed for full-time wheelchair users and people with spinal cord injury or other neurological conditions. Choice and setup should always be guided by an experienced allied health professional.

? How is a Roho cushion adjusted?

Roho cushions are usually adjusted with a hand pump while the person is sitting on the cushion. Air is added or released following the manufacturer’s setup instructions and clinical guidelines to achieve the right amount of immersion and stability. Your therapist should demonstrate the setup process and show carers how to check and maintain the air levels over time.

? Do Roho cushions need regular checks?

Yes. Air levels in Roho cushions should be checked regularly, as small leaks or changes in pressure can affect support and skin protection. Many therapists recommend including cushion checks in daily or weekly care routines, along with regular skin checks and repositioning. If you notice the cushion feels very soft, very firm or uneven, it should be reviewed promptly.

? Can Roho cushions be repaired if punctured?

Many Roho models include repair kits for minor punctures or leaks. For more significant damage, or if the cushion is older, replacement may be safer than repair. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and discuss any damage with your therapist or supplier, especially if the user has very high pressure injury risk.

? Can Roho cushions be used in any wheelchair or chair?

Roho cushions are available in a wide range of sizes to suit common wheelchair and seating dimensions. It is essential to match the cushion size to the seat width and depth and to check that armrests, side supports and footrests still fit safely. Your therapist will usually specify the size, and you can review technical details in our product catalogues .

? Can Roho cushions be funded through the NDIS?

In many cases, Roho cushions are funded as assistive technology under the NDIS when they are prescribed or recommended by an allied health professional and clearly linked to goals such as skin protection, safe seating and community participation. Because they are clinical pressure care products, they may sit in higher assistive technology categories and require detailed assessments and quotes. For more information on assistive technology, you can visit the NDIS page on assistive technology explained . Our team can provide quotes, specifications and invoices for participants, support coordinators and plan managers.
