Overview
The donut cushion is a circular seating aid with a hollow center designed to offload pressure from the anal and rectal area, providing comfort for individuals with hemorrhoids. By redistributing body weight away from inflamed or sensitive tissues, it supports more comfortable sitting and can be useful after anorectal procedures.
