I had a Roho go flat and cause a sore, so I now have a 1 inch thick,
firm, memory foam, pad under my Roho. Just incase. They make a pressure
pad with an alarm. If it goes flat it goes off. A OT gave me one years
ago, but never worked right.

Hi Glenn,
Ever since I had my Stage III wound [actually two of them] in 2010
and I told my story of what happened on the Care Cure Community... the
president of the ROHO contacted me and suggested their cushion would
work the best for me BECAUSE OF MY CONDITION. So, since then, I have
been using a Roho Quadtro Select High Profile cushion but I also have
a Roho Quadtro Select Low Profile cushion. But, this is all based on
my compromised skin.
The only thing I don't like about these cushions is they have to be
constantly checked (maintenance) to make sure they are not going flat
but the owner is great to work with. I have not had to add or take
out any air in a long long time but that is because my skin is now
doing great. Every other part of me is falling apart (especially the
bladder) and so many other things but that is because I am living
alone for the first time in my life and don't get much help with
anything except for my care.
Here are photos of the different cushions (which come with washable
covers):

But if you are not having any problems with any wounds... a Varilite
cushion is what I was using before and liked.
Best, ~Lori

Hello all,
I have been using the same style of wheelchair cushion over the
past 48 years. The company seems to be in limbo after a fire at
the factory. They claim that they will be in business again, but
I'm beginning to doubt after five months.
What I would like people to comment on is the type of wheelchair
cushion you are using and your experiences.
The pad that I used was made by Hudson medical. It was called a
Jobst hydrofloat pad.
Thanks for your concern and your comments, hopefully I can find a
new type of pad case they do not come back in business.
