_900.png "The Importance of Pressure Relief: How the VALLEY Cushion Can Help")
Pressure relief is crucial for individuals who spend extended periods seated, especially those recovering from surgery or dealing with specific medical conditions. Prolonged pressure on certain areas, particularly the perineal region, can lead to pain, discomfort, tissue trauma, and even wound breakdown.
Traditional solutions like ring cushions often fall short, potentially hindering lymphatic drainage and circulation. However, the VALLEY® Cushion offers a scientifically designed, cost-effective, and non-invasive approach to pain management and pressure relief in the "mid-line" areas around the perineum.
Unique Features and Benefits of The VALLEY® Cushion:
- Combination of foam and air: Enhances comfort and distributes pressure effectively.
- Central pressure-relieving channel: Runs from front to back, promoting circulation in the area of injury.
- Adjustable inflation: Two pumps allow independent inflation on each side, catering to individual needs.
- Clinically proven: Alleviates most perineal/perianal pain and conditions.
- Reduced reliance on analgesia: Helps minimise the need for pain medication.
- Faster healing rate: Promotes a quicker recovery process.
- Overwhelming preference: Proven more effective than ring cushions and other appliances.
- Reduced risk of wound breakdown: Protects tissues from damage.
- Versatile use: Suitable for chairs and beds.
- Enables comfortable seating: Allows patients to sit for extended periods without numbness.
- Promotes a comfortable lifestyle: Helps patients return to their daily routines.
Ideal for Various Conditions:
The VALLEY® Cushion is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from:
- Post-rectal surgery
- Post-perianal surgery
- Coccyx damage
- Episiotomies
- Abdominal perineal resection (APR) surgery
- Post-birth recovery
How It Works:
The VALLEY® Cushion works by:
- Tilting the pelvis forwards and backwards.
- Spreading the buttocks.
- Encouraging weight distribution on less vulnerable areas (e.g., the back of the thighs).
This minimises pressure, reduces humidity, and prevents tissue trauma, unlike ring cushions that can negatively impact lymphatic drainage and circulation. The VALLEY® Cushion is supplied with two pumps, enabling individual adjustments for optimal comfort and support.
