Roho Toilet Seat Cushion

ROHO cushions are commonly recommended for people at a high risk of developing pressure injuries, those with reduced sensation or muscle mass, or individuals with a history of pressure injuries. They are frequently prescribed for full-time wheelchair users and people living with spinal cord injuries or other neurological conditions.

To ensure the best outcomes, the most appropriate cushion model and setup should always be recommended by a qualified allied health professional, such as an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist.

Roho cushions are usually adjusted with a hand pump while the person is sitting on the cushion. Air is added or released following the manufacturer’s setup instructions and clinical guidelines to achieve the right amount of immersion and stability. Your therapist should demonstrate the setup process and show carers how to check and maintain the air levels over time.

Yes, a ROHO cushion can be used without its cover. However, we recommend using the supplied cover, as it is designed to help protect the neoprene rubber from dirt, spills and everyday wear. The cover also helps minimise the build-up of food and debris between the air cells and can reduce friction and shear forces, contributing to greater comfort and easier maintenance.

The cushion cover can be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle using cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they may affect the performance of the fabric.

To clean the cushion, simply wipe it down with warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry completely before use. Regular cleaning will help maintain the cushion's performance, hygiene and longevity.
