Maximise Contour Cushion with Terry Towelling Cover - Modular Foam Pressure Relief.
- Terry Towelling Washable Cover - the removable terry towelling outer cover provides a soft textile contact surface for residents with sensitive or fragile skin; the natural absorbency of terry towelling wicks surface moisture away from the skin during use, supporting comfort during extended seated periods; the cover is machine washable, allowing scheduled laundering in line with the care setting's infection control policy to maintain hygiene and textile integrity.
- Modular Foam Core - the 43x41x10cm modular foam insert provides pressure redistribution across the ischial tuberosities and coccyx per NICE CG179; the modular construction allows the foam core to be retained and the cover replaced independently, extending product life and reducing clinical waste in line with CQC Regulation 12 resource management expectations for registered providers.
- Homecare and Sensitive Skin Indication - the terry towelling cover is particularly suited to homecare and community settings where residents prefer or clinically require a textile rather than a wipe-clean contact surface; the soft pile reduces friction at the skin interface, supporting comfort in residents with sensitive, dry, or atrophic skin without compromising the pressure redistribution performance of the underlying modular foam core.
- MDR 2017/745 Conformity - the Maximise Contour Cushion is a Class I medical device under the Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745; the terry towelling cover variant is selected following occupational therapist assessment confirming that the washable textile cover is clinically appropriate for the resident's skin condition and care setting; cover washing should follow care label guidance to maintain pile structure and skin contact performance.
Maximise Contour Cushion - Terry Towelling Washable Cover - 43x41x10cm Modular Foam
The Maximise Contour Cushion with terry towelling cover provides pressure redistribution in a 43x41x10cm modular foam cushion fitted with a removable, machine-washable terry towelling outer cover. The terry pile offers a soft textile contact surface for residents with sensitive or fragile skin, making this variant particularly suitable for homecare and community settings where a wipe-clean cover is clinically or practically inappropriate. The modular construction separates foam core from cover, allowing independent replacement of each component and extending overall product life.

Regulatory Compliance
The Maximise Contour Cushion is compliant with Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 as a Class I medical device. Clinical selection of the terry towelling cover variant follows occupational therapist assessment confirming the textile contact surface is appropriate for the resident's skin condition and care setting. The removable cover must be laundered per care label guidance; washing temperature should be confirmed against NHS IPC requirements applicable to the setting. Equipment register documentation and MDR conformity records must be retained for CQC Regulation 12 readiness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the terry towelling cover be replaced separately from the foam cushion core?
Yes. The modular construction of the Maximise Contour Cushion is specifically designed to allow independent replacement of the foam core and the outer cover. If the terry towelling cover becomes worn, stained beyond laundering, or clinically past its useful life, a replacement cover can be sourced separately without replacing the foam insert. Similarly, if the foam core shows signs of bottoming out or degraded pressure redistribution performance, the core can be replaced while retaining the cover. This modular approach reduces long-term cost and clinical waste compared to single-component cushions where the entire unit must be replaced when one element fails, directly supporting CQC Regulation 12 expectations around effective resource management.
When is the terry towelling cover clinically preferred over the wipe-clean VP cover?
The terry towelling cover is typically selected when the resident has sensitive, dry, atrophic, or fragile skin where the harder surface of a wipe-clean VP cover may cause discomfort or friction at the skin interface during extended seated use. It is also appropriate in homecare settings where the cushion is used by a single resident only and IPC constraints on cover type are less restrictive than in shared care home environments. Where there is any risk of incontinence contamination or where the cushion is shared between residents, the wipe-clean VP cover variant should be selected to meet the NHS IPC decontamination standard applicable to shared seating equipment.
