The Medical Wonders Of The Roho Cushion
Before the Roho Cushion was invented, there was a man named Robert Graebe. Robert H. Graebe was an electrical engineer by trade. But when he was assigned to work at a hospital, he found a greater calling – one to help alleviate pressure sores usually caused by long bed stays or wheelchairs. A few years later, Graebe came up with Roho Dry Flotation Technology, so named because his cushions would simulate water-like properties despite not being constructed with any liquids. It would only be in 1997 when the Airhawk, an early Roho air cushion, was launched in an attempt to give motorcycle riders comfort and cushioning for those bumpy rides.
Currently, Roho is best known as a manufacturer of wheelchair cushions and various other cushions designed to make life easier for wheelchair-bound individuals, or those chronically suffering from different kinds of pressure sores. Roho wheelchair cushions, in particular, have received praise from users all throughout the world. The Hybrid Elite Cushion, for instance, is a Roho wheelchair cushion that improves pelvic alignment and lower extremity positioning, thus improving one’s sitting posture. It also incorporates the same Roho Dry Flotation technology that their other cushions feature, not only alleviating pressure sores but making it easier for one to transfer in and out of their wheelchair.
A more recognizable Roho cushion is the Roho High Profile Cushion, better known as their High Profile Quadtro Select Cushion. The cushion’s ISOFLO memory control is built along the same lines as a memory foam cushion, but is knob-operated, allowing easier shape fitting capacity with the user seated. Best of all, you don’t have to sacrifice that all-important skin protection when using this cushion. You can get optimum stability and positioning without aggravating any pressure sores. All this, thanks to ISOFLO memory control and Roho Dry Flotation technology.
For maintenance purposes, there are a few Roho cushion covers to choose from, including their Heavy Duty Cover and their Universal Cover. The Heavy Duty Cover is recommended for everyday maintenance, protecting the cushion from wear and tear, as well as protecting against episodes of incontinence, through its fluid-resistant material. The Universal Cover, on the other hand, is designed to help the cushion conform to the user’s body shape, giving the cushion its own identity, shall we say. As you can see by reading about just a few of Roho’s cushions and covers, Roho deserves its place as a worker of medical wonders and a much-recommended item for wheelchair owners anywhere.
