ROHO Contour Base Buyer’s Guide

The ROHO Contour Base is a specialized seating accessory designed to optimize positioning, stability, and pelvic alignment for wheelchair users. Engineered with a durable contoured foam foundation, it inserts into a cushion cover beneath a ROHO air cushion to prevent seat sling hammock effect and promote healthier posture during daily wheelchair use.

Prevents Wheelchair Seat Hammocking

The ROHO Contour Base neutralizes the natural sagging or hammocking found in flexible wheelchair sling seats. By providing a flat, firm foundation, it maintains a level plane for the cushion, improving seating stability and preventing unwanted pelvic tilt.

ROHO Contour Base Postural Support

Featuring a gently curved shape, the contoured design helps hold the pelvis in a neutral position while discouraging leg adduction or rotation. This targeted support assists with proper lower-body alignment and helps distribute user weight more evenly across the seating surface.

Lightweight and Durable Construction

Crafted from high-density, resilient foam, the base adds structural integrity without adding unnecessary bulk or weight to the wheelchair setup. Its lightweight design ensures easy handling during transfer, cleaning, or routine maintenance.

ROHO Contour Base Cushion Compatibility

Designed specifically to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of ROHO dry floatation cushions, the base easily slides inside the bottom of the cushion's cover. This internal positioning ensures the base stays securely in place without shifting during transfers.

Moisture Resistant and Easy to Clean

The closed-cell foam construction of the ROHO Contour Base resists fluid absorption and moisture buildup. It can be easily wiped clean with mild soap and water, helping maintain a hygienic seating environment for everyday users.

Enhances Pressure Redistribution

By stabilizing the underlying cushion, the base allows the air cells of a ROHO cushion to function at maximum efficiency. This enhances immersion and envelopment, offering reliable pressure relief to reduce the risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores.

ROHO Contour Base Multiple Size Options

Available in a broad array of dimensions, the contour base can be matched directly to standard wheelchair seat widths and depths. This variety ensures a tailored fit for custom mobility setups and individual user needs.

Simple Integration with No Tools Needed

The base requires no hardware or complex installation processes to use. Simply place it underneath the cushion within the cushion cover to instantly upgrade existing wheelchair seating support.
