High Sided Cotside Bumpers - Extra Height for Airflow Mattresses. (Closed Ends 183 x 96 cm)
- 183cm Closed-End Extended Length - the largest specification in the high-sided cotside bumper range; the 183cm length provides the greatest padded coverage area along the rail and the closed ends provide lateral protection at both rail end positions; indicated where both extended-length coverage along the rail and closed-end lateral protection are identified as requirements in the bed rail risk assessment.
- 96cm Height for Overlay and Airflow Mattresses - 96cm height for profiling beds with overlay or alternating pressure airflow mattresses where the standard 76cm bumper does not reach the top of the rail above the raised mattress surface; FR foam interior meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirements for regulated care environments.
- Wipe-Clean Cover, Hook and Loop - wipe-clean outer cover allows NHS IPC decontamination between patient uses; hook and loop fastenings for quick fitting; the closed-end 183cm version completes the high-sided cotside bumper range alongside the 134cm open ends (NCL-CSBH), 183cm open ends (NCL-CSBHL), and 134cm closed ends (NCL-CSBHE).
- Indicated for Active High-Dependency Patients - the combination of 183cm extended length and closed ends makes this the highest-specification option in the high-sided range; indicated for high-dependency settings and more active patients where both extended rail coverage and lateral end protection are documented requirements in the individual bed rail risk assessment.
High-Sided Cotside Bumper - 183x96cm - Closed Ends - Active Patient Protection
The High-Sided Cotside Bumper (183x96cm, Closed Ends) is the highest-specification option in the high-sided cotside bumper range, providing extended-length 96cm high-sided FR foam rail protection with closed ends for lateral impact protection at the rail end positions. Wipe-clean cover; hook and loop fastenings. Other range versions: NCL-CSBH (134cm open ends), NCL-CSBHL (183cm open ends), NCL-CSBHE (134cm closed ends).

Regulatory Compliance
All compliance requirements applicable to the other high-sided cotside bumper versions - MHRA bed rail safety guidance, Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 FR foam specification, NHS IPC wipe-clean decontamination, CQC Regulation 12 equipment documentation, and Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations - apply equally to this version. The 183cm closed-end specification should be selected where the bed rail risk assessment specifically identifies both the need for extended-length padded coverage along the rail and lateral protection at the rail end positions. Specifying the highest option when a lower specification is clinically adequate is not required; the risk assessment findings should drive the specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the 183cm closed-end version the appropriate specification rather than a lower option?
The 183x96cm closed-end version (NCL-CSBHLE) is the appropriate specification where the individual bed rail risk assessment identifies all of the following requirements simultaneously: a profiling bed with overlay or airflow mattress requiring 96cm height; a resident whose movement along the rail requires 183cm body coverage rather than 134cm; and lateral impact at the rail ends as a specific identified risk requiring closed-end protection. Where any of these requirements is absent, a lower specification may be equally clinically appropriate and should be preferred. The risk assessment should document the rationale for each specification dimension.
How should the complete high-sided cotside bumper range be navigated when selecting the correct version?
The four versions are defined by two independent variables: body length (134cm or 183cm) and end type (open or closed). First, determine the required height - 96cm for overlay or airflow mattress beds, 76cm standard for non-overlay beds. Then determine the required body length based on the rail coverage area needed. Finally, determine whether closed-end lateral protection is needed based on the individual resident's movement patterns. The four high-sided options are then: 134cm open ends (NCL-CSBH), 183cm open ends (NCL-CSBHL), 134cm closed ends (NCL-CSBHE), and 183cm closed ends (NCL-CSBHLE). The bed rail risk assessment should document the clinical rationale for each selection variable.
