ROHO Inflation: Standard & Atmospheric
Proper inflation is required for optimal skin protection and postural stability. There are two ways to inflate a ROHO cushion:
- Standard Inflation: Inflate the cushion until all air cells are overinflated and the cushion begins to arch. Close valve, and adjust for proper immersion.
- Atmospheric Inflation (If determined appropriate by a clinician): Inflate until all air cells are firm, remove pump and keep valve open. Allow air to escape, close the inflation valve, and adjust for proper immersion. Environmental factors such as altitude, temperature, and body weight changes can affect air volume.
Clinical tip: Regular hand checks to monitor inflation help optimize skin integrity and patient comfort, especially in changing environments.
