The VALLEY® Cushion is a scientifically designed, cost-effective, and non-invasive system for managing pain in the "mid-line" perineal areas when seated. Clinically proven to alleviate most perineal/perianal pain, it helps reduce tissue trauma and breakdown risks, enabling patients to lead fuller lives. Suitable for chairs or beds, it allows users to sit for extended periods without the numbness often linked to other inflatable cushions, thereby improving comfort and lifestyle.
The cushion promotes optimal weight distribution, crucial for reducing post-operative pain and pressure sore risk in the perineal region. By encouraging better posture and shifting weight to less sensitive areas like the thighs, it lowers pain, pressure, and humidity. Unlike 'ring' cushions, The VALLEY® Cushion ensures that lymphatic drainage and circulation are not compromised. It comes with two pumps, allowing each side to be independently inflated for personalised support while the user is seated.
- Combination of foam and air to enhance comfort
- The central pressure-relieving channel runs from front to back to enhance circulation in the area of injury
- 46 x 46 x 9 cm
- 2 pumps provide adjustable inflation to each side to suit individual needs

The alleviation of patient pain associated with anal or perineal wounds is a frequent problem faced by health professionals which has few obvious solutions.
The VALLEY® Cushion is scientifically designed to provide a cost-effective, non-invasive pain management system to relieve pain from the “mid-line” areas around the perineum when seated. It is clinically proven to alleviate most perineal/perianal pain and conditions.
The VALLEY® Cushion reduces the risk of tissue trauma and tissue breakdown. It allows patients to lead as full a life as possible without the risk of developing complications. The cushion may be used on a chair or in bed and will enable patients to remain seated for hours at a time free of the numbness often associated with inflatable cushions. The use of the cushion is an important factor in settling patients back into a more comfortable lifestyle.
In order to reduce post-operative pain, prevent wound breakdown and protect tissues that are at risk of developing pressure sores in the perineal area it is important to tilt the pelvis forwards and backwards, spread the buttocks and encourage the patient to take as much weight as possible on areas which are less at risk e.g. the back of the thighs. This allows the weight to be distributed over as wide an area as possible, so reducing pain, reducing pressure, reducing humidity, so consequently reducing the risk of tissue trauma. The VALLEY® Cushion will prevent wound breakdown and reduce the risk of tissue trauma and unlike the ‘ring’ cushion, it will not adversely affect lymphatic drainage or circulation.
The VALLEY® Cushion is supplied with two pumps; each side can be independently inflated to suit individual needs, while the user is sat on the cushion.
