Machine-Washable Bed Bumpers - Quilted Protection (183 x 96 cm Closed Ends - High)
- 183cm Extended Length Closed Ends - the 183x96cm closed-end version provides greater padded body coverage along the rail than the 134x96cm version (NCL-MWBHE), with closed ends providing lateral protection at both end positions; the largest closed-end option in the high-sided MWB range, indicated where both extended coverage and lateral end protection are identified in the bed rail risk assessment.
- 96cm High-Sided Machine Washable - the 96cm height covers the exposed rail above overlay or airflow mattress surfaces; FR polyester with quilted finish provides impact cushioning and meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirements; machine washable per HTM 01-04 for thorough laundering decontamination in infection-control environments.
- Closed Ends for Active Patients - closed-end construction cushions the rail end positions against lateral impact for patients who contact the bumper corners during sleep movement or periods of agitation; the bed rail risk assessment should confirm that both closed-end lateral protection and extended-length body coverage are clinically required before specifying this version over the open-end 183x76cm (NCL-MWBL) or other alternatives.
- MWB Closed-End High-Sided Range - hook and loop bottom fastening; the 134x96cm closed-end version is NCL-MWBHE; the open-end high-sided versions are NCL-MWBH (134cm) and NCL-MWBPBH (200cm); CQC Regulation 12 documentation should record the clinical rationale for each specification dimension.

Regulatory Compliance
All compliance requirements applicable to the MWB range - Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 FR specification, HTM 01-04 machine-washable decontamination, MHRA bed rail safety guidance on full height coverage, CQC Regulation 12 equipment documentation, and Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations - apply to this version. The 183cm length and closed-end specification should each be confirmed as clinically indicated in the individual bed rail risk assessment before procurement; specifying the highest option when a lower specification is clinically adequate is not required.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the 183cm closed-end version be chosen rather than the 134cm?
The 183cm version (NCL-MWBHLE) should be specified where the clinical assessment indicates that 134cm of padded coverage is insufficient for the resident's movement range along the rail. Both versions provide the same 96cm height, closed-end lateral protection, machine-washable FR polyester specification, and hook and loop fastening; the body length selection is made on the basis of the required padded coverage area confirmed in the bed rail risk assessment. Where the 134cm version (NCL-MWBHE) provides adequate coverage, it should be preferred as the appropriate specification.
What is the complete MWB closed-end high-sided range?
The MWB machine-washable closed-end high-sided range consists of two versions: NCL-MWBHE (134x96cm closed ends) and NCL-MWBHLE (183x96cm closed ends). Both provide 96cm high-sided height for overlay mattress configurations and closed-end lateral protection for more active patients; the selection between them is based on the required padded body coverage area. There is no 200cm closed-end machine-washable version in the current MWB range; where full profiling bed length high-sided coverage is required without closed ends, NCL-MWBPBH (200x96cm open ends) is the appropriate specification.
