Item Details
Roho Harmony Cushion
ILC Reference NO 43:63:028
Item sourced from ILC VIC database
Factors to Consider
There are many things to consider when selecting pressure care products including nutrition, skin moisture, level of mobility, age, shear, friction, location of pressure ulcer (if present) and hygiene. Any comments regarding level of pressure care is a suggestion made by suppliers as a guide to assist with selection, and this may differ from brand to brand. When selecting pressure care products it is strongly advised that a comprehensive assessment is undertaken by a health professional to encourage correct product selection and monitoring of product effectiveness.
The air cells aim to reduce friction and shear.
All cushions must be monitored to prevent bottoming out. This occurs when the weight of the occupant bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts of the body are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (such as correct inflation level), a different product may need to be considered.
Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front.
This lightweight cushion may help keep the overall weight of a wheelchair down.
This cushion can provide some contour to allow more stability in sitting for the occupant.
Short Description
A lightweight cushion combining a pad with a number of interconected air cells, with a contoured foam base, encased within a fluid resistant cover. A range of adult sizes are available. The base consists of countoured foam with support to the sides, ramping at the front and a leg abductor. Above this sits a removable, dry floatation pad with air cells. The pad has a single valve to allow the inflation level of the cells to be adjusted using a hand held pump.
Price Guide
Refer to supplier details for pricing.
