ROHO / Permobil — Full Review

Advanced Pressure Relief Seating for Skin Protection, Wound Care & Ulcer Prevention

Skin breakdown, pressure injuries, burns, and wound-related complications are common risks for people with limited mobility, prolonged sitting, spinal cord injuries, or post-surgical recovery needs. Continuous pressure, poor circulation, and friction can slow healing and increase the risk of pressure ulcers and skin damage.

ROHO and Permobil seating solutions are engineered with advanced air-cell and pressure-distribution technology to reduce sustained pressure on vulnerable skin areas.

ROHO Dry Floatation Mattress Overlay System AS

The ROHO Dry Floatation Mattress Overlay System AS is a high-performance pressure-management mattress overlay designed to help prevent and relieve pressure injuries, support sensitive skin, and improve comfort for long-term bed users. Using interconnected air cells that dynamically adjust to the body’s shape and movement, the overlay distributes weight evenly and minimizes pressure points — helping reduce shear and friction on the skin. This system is especially beneficial for people with pelvic and hip pain, nerve sensitivity, chronic discomfort, slow-healing wounds, or risk of pressure injuries.

FAQs

How does the Dry Floatation system work?
It uses interconnected air cells that adjust to the body’s movements and weight, reducing focal pressure that can contribute to skin breakdown and discomfort.

Is this suitable for someone with nerve sensitivity?
Yes — its gentle, adaptive support helps reduce pressure and shear, which often aggravate nerve-related discomfort.

Do I need a special mattress?
No — it’s designed to fit over existing mattresses, though compatibility and sizing should be confirmed.

Does it require a power source?
Yes — the air pump needs power to maintain optimal cell inflation and pressure distribution.

Can it help with pressure sores?
It’s designed to help prevent pressure injuries and support comfort; serious or existing wounds should still be managed under medical guidance.
