I guess Ive been lucky pressure sore wise. I have been using a jay 2 gel since day 1 16 years ago and Im on my fourth one. Rohos aren't dummy proof. You have to constantly be aware of the air pressure. I also cant stand how they are to transfer out of. That was the reason I picked a gel, they have a transfer section in the front. Any therapist will tell you though if you have been using a certain style cushion for years without incident..........don't change it.

I know what you are saying about the importance of a cushion. I had a flat once a few years ago and paid a dear price. I'm supposed to have a new one in my insurance pipeline.

But I'd never 'chance it' with a Roho. Even a pinhole leak could have you bottoming out after a day or two, and you know what dangers that could lead to. Rohos are only a few hundred bucks. Decubes are... hell, a lot more expensive than that. If your insurance is denying you a new Roho simply point out the cost of a flap surgery to them. If they STILL won't buy you one, let me know and I'll find you a donated one here in Phoenix. As much as I'm a thrifty kind of guy, the last place I want to skimp is on my cushion.
