Machine-Washable Bed Bumpers - Quilted Protection (200 x 76 cm Open Ends With Split Base)
- Machine Washable Plus Split Net Base - the MWBPB-CB range uniquely combines machine-washable FR polyester quilted construction with a split net base that prevents the bumper from contacting the floor when the profiling bed side rails are lowered; this combination addresses both the NHS IPC deep decontamination requirement and the floor-contamination pathway that occurs during routine rail-lowering in a single specification.
- Split Net Base Floor-Clear Design - the connected split net base holds the bumper off the floor as the rail is lowered, eliminating the floor-to-bedside contamination pathway that occurs with standard bumpers; in machine-washable care environments where high NHS IPC standards are maintained, floor contact during rail-lowering represents a specific contamination concern that the CB net base directly addresses.
- 200x76cm Full Profiling Bed Length - 200cm standard profiling bed length; standard 76cm height for beds without mattress overlays; open ends; FR polyester quilted construction and machine-washable specification; hook and loop fastening; supplied as a unit; the high-sided 200x96cm version is NCL-MWBPBH-CB; the three-rail 200x105cm version is NCL-MWBPBX-CB.
- Premium NHS IPC Specification - the highest NHS IPC specification in the full-length profiling bed bumper range; CQC Regulation 12 documentation should confirm the clinical rationale for specifying machine washability combined with the split net base, and the inspection schedule for the net base mechanism; Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Machine-Washable Quilted Bumper with Split Net Base - 200x76cm - Floor-Clear
The Machine-Washable Quilted Bumper with Split Net Base (200x76cm) provides full profiling bed length padded coverage in machine-washable FR polyester with a split net base that prevents floor contact when the side rails are lowered.

Regulatory Compliance
The MWBPB-CB range satisfies the highest NHS IPC specification for full-length profiling bed bumpers by combining machine-washable HTM 01-04 deep decontamination with the split net base floor-clear hygiene feature. The FR polyester meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirement. MHRA bed rail safety guidance applies. CQC Regulation 12 documentation should confirm the machine-washable specification rationale, the net base inspection schedule, and the bed rail risk assessment findings. Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the clinical advantage of combining machine washability with a split net base?
Standard machine-washable bumpers (the MWBPB range) provide deep decontamination through laundering but, like all standard bumpers, can contact the floor when rails are lowered during care access, creating a floor-to-bed contamination pathway between laundering events. The MWBPB-CB split net base prevents floor contact at every rail-lowering event, maintaining the hygiene of the bumper surface continuously between washes. In high-acuity or infection-sensitive environments, this combination provides the highest achievable standard of bumper hygiene management - deep decontamination capability through machine washing plus prevention of floor contamination throughout the care cycle.
When should the CB split net base version be specified over the standard MWB 200x76cm?
The CB version (NCL-MWBPB-CB) should be specified where the care home or hospital infection control policy requires both machine-washable bed safety equipment and floor-clear bumper positioning during rail-lowering. Where machine washing is required but floor contact during rail-lowering is not identified as a specific risk in the local infection control assessment, the standard NCL-MWBPB provides an adequate and more cost-effective specification. The CB version represents the premium specification in the MWB range and should be reserved for clinical settings where both features are genuinely required by the infection control risk assessment.
