Connected Cotside Bumpers - For The Prevention of Limb Entrapment (183 x 76 cm)
- 183cm Extended Length - the 183x76cm version provides a larger padded coverage area along the rail than the 134cm version (NCL-CCB), appropriate where longer rail coverage is required or where the resident's movement pattern during sleep means that a greater padded surface area along the rail provides better impact protection alongside the sub-rail entrapment prevention provided by the base sheet.
- Highly Permeable Base Sheet - the base sheet connecting both cotside bumpers passes beneath the mattress, creating a safety net that prevents limbs from entering the sub-rail entrapment zone; the mattress secures the base sheet in position without additional fixings, maintaining the protective net throughout the protection period and through profiling bed adjustments.
- Wipe-Clean 183x76cm - wipe-clean outer cover for NHS IPC decontamination between patient uses; standard 76cm height for profiling beds without mattress overlays; also available in 134x76cm (NCL-CCB), 200x76cm (NCL-CCBPB), 200x96cm high-sided (NCL-CCBPBH), and 200x105cm for third rail extension (NCL-CCBPBX).
- MHRA Compliant Sub-Rail Protection - designed in compliance with MHRA guidance on bed rail safety for sub-rail entrapment prevention; a documented bed rail risk assessment confirming the clinical indication is required; Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply where the resident lacks capacity to consent to bed rail use.
Connected Cotside Bumper - 183x76cm - Sub-Rail Limb Entrapment Prevention
The Connected Cotside Bumper (183x76cm) provides extended-length padded rail protection with a highly permeable base sheet that passes beneath the mattress to prevent sub-rail limb entrapment. The 183cm body length provides greater padded coverage area than the 134cm version (NCL-CCB). Wipe-clean outer; mattress-secured base sheet. Full range: NCL-CCB (134x76cm), NCL-CCBPB (200x76cm), NCL-CCBPBH (200x96cm), NCL-CCBPBX (200x105cm).

Regulatory Compliance
The same MHRA sub-rail entrapment risk management rationale, CQC Regulation 12 documentation requirements, and Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations that apply to the 134x76cm version (NCL-CCB) apply equally to this 183x76cm version. The 183cm body length is selected where greater padded coverage along the rail is clinically indicated, based on the individual resident's movement patterns and the rail coverage assessment in the bed rail risk assessment. All Connected Cotside Bumper versions share the same base sheet mechanism for sub-rail entrapment prevention.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the 183cm version be specified rather than the 134cm?
The 183cm version (NCL-CCSFB) should be specified where the clinical assessment indicates that a larger padded body coverage area along the rail is required - for example, where the resident moves extensively along the rail length during sleep and the 134cm bumper body does not provide coverage at the full extent of the resident's movement range. Both versions provide the same sub-rail entrapment prevention through the base sheet mechanism; the body length selection is based on the padded coverage area requirement rather than the entrapment protection function, which is identical across all CCB range versions.
Does a longer bumper body affect the base sheet coverage?
The base sheet extends across the full width of the bed at mattress level regardless of the bumper body length; both the 134cm and 183cm bumper bodies connect to the same base sheet width. The bumper body length affects the padded coverage area along the rail surface; the base sheet coverage across the mattress width is determined by the bed dimensions, not the bumper body length. The bed rail risk assessment should confirm that the base sheet adequately covers the full rail-to-frame gap width for the specific bed configuration in use.
