Most likely you’ll have to go somewhere to have the custom fitting done. It’s more of a custom fitting to your body than a pressure mapping. The cushion will be made to fit the exact shape and curves of you butt, with the “trouble spot” removed. I’m speaking as a lay person, so this is just my personal experience.I’d recommend calling them directly to find your nearest dealer:Ride Designs does not sell directly to the public, rather through Ride®certified providers.

When Ride Designs does the pressure mapping, do they come to your home, or
do you have to go to their location?

 Your basic Ride cushion is about the same, or less, than a basic Roho.The 
custom fit Ride cushions are more expensive as there's a fitting involved, then 
the custom fabrication. But definitely worth the cost if they prevent you from 
getting a pressure injury.

there is a cushion made that does have hole in middle but i think it is custom

there is no reason that so many wheelchair cushion companies cannot make a

Ben,

 

Scrotum pressure sore?  I think you might be sitting on your scrotum when you 
get in your chair.  After I get in my chair, I recline my chair and have my 
caregivers reach in my pants and pull my sack out from under me.  I have them 
cup my package as they recline my chair up to make sure I don't end up sitting 
on my sack.  Why do I suspect that is what is causing you sore?  The exact same 
thing happened to me a few years ago

[Ben Mattlin]

Thanks, Paul. So it's basically made of foam? Anyway, my problem seems to be on 
the scrotum, which isn't exactly a bony protuberance.

This sounds expensive, too, but I'll definitely think about.

RIDE SYSTEM:  You get your butt and hips mapped and wherever there

Aae bony prominences, the areas where wounds occur, the cushion is cut out so 

there is no pressure, friction or touching.  These bony prominences,  just 
float 

and are free from pressure.

 

The cushion is individualized to you.  Hope this helps.

Can anyone explain why the Ride cushion is different/better? I'm currently in 
bed because of a scrotum pressure wound, and I've been using a Roho Quadtro for 
the past several years (after many more years on memory foam cushions). Thanks, 
everyone, for your wisdom and good advice.

there is a cushion made that does have hole in middle but i think it is custom

there is no reason that so many wheelchair cushion companies cannot make a

[Edward Tessier]

in my younger years as a quad I did fine on rojo  and Jay cushions – – 
pneumatic and gel respectively.

 At 30 years post my body had had enough and I developed a sore that kept me in 
bed for a year

 I tried more than 20 different products on the market

 the only cushion that worked dependably for long hours of sitting in with no 
breakdown were the Ride Cushions.   highly customized and highly durable and 
absolute miracle workers  in that it enabled me to go back to work and be more 
active raising my kids

get really thick memory foam or other material and cut out a hole.
or use donut cushion with other material around it.

there is a cushion made that does have hole in middle but i think it is custom 
made and/or you must have company measure & build it just for you.
there is no reason that so many wheelchair cushion companies cannot make a 
cushion that pressure maps good and prevents pressure sores. no excuses.

while you are relieving pressure to the area in the middle, the outside rings 
can be cutting off at least some blood flow to where you are relieving 
pressure. Not saying that it shouldn't be used. Just say be careful.
