I used a full electric blanket yrs ago after my injury. One night I rolled on
my side and the blanket got wedged between my knees. When I woke up I had two
burns with blisters on the insides of my legs. Thats the danger, if the blanket
gets on the skin ith weight and you dont move.

I never thought an electric blanket would get that hot.
I have burned my self so many ways. The worst was dropping a cup of coffee. I
had an insulated cup that got so hot it burned my hand and leg. I rest my cup
on a pillow on my lap often leaning it on my stomach. I'v burned my stomach
many times.

I am so sorry. We need to really check our roho’s every day but we don’t.
I have heard of many people getting burned On heating pads and electric
blankets, since I first joined the Quad-list. I recently was burned when my
hot coffee glass’s straw broke . It was a Drink Aide straw attached to
insulated mug that I got at CVS. We Were duct taping it together. A
caregiver was not carefully watching and it siphoned .I am now I am using a
Fleximug by Fleming. You can order different lengths of straws. We don’t know
we are getting burned because we can’t feel. I have had long straw siphon
quite a number of times causing burns, but I didn’t need surgery. They did need
debriefing and wound care appointments for several weeks .
It is terribly unfortunate that the Roho Corporation cannot make a device to
check the quantro cushion for the proper air distribution . Why sell a product
that can cause wounds on Spinal cord injuries. It has happened to me several
times . Dana C 4-5 44 yrs post

I wanted to dress up a bit for a photo, jeans instead of sweats. Only 1 day
and I got a sore on my butt. It was not bad, but kept getting worse. Found out
I was bottoming out my Roho. The cover I used was a bit too big. So the Roho
was spreading out too much.
Now last night my shoulder really hurt so I used a heating pad. Like a mini
electric blanket 2x2 feet. It left a big burn blister about 2 inches.
