Two Rail Bumper with Net Window (180 cm Hook and Loop Fastening)
- 180cm Length for Shorter Rails - the 180cm open-ended wipe-clean bumper suits profiling beds with shorter side rail configurations where the standard 200cm version would be oversized; rail length should be measured before procurement to confirm the 180cm specification is appropriate, as a bumper longer than the rail will not fit correctly and one shorter than the rail leaves unprotected sections.
- Open-Ended Wipe-Clean Design - open-ended format provides ventilation and flexibility at the rail end points; wipe-clean outer material supports NHS IPC decontamination between patient uses; hook and loop fastenings allow quick fitting and removal without tools; supplied in pairs for bilateral rail protection on the profiling bed.
- Concertina Net Window - strong see-through concertina net window maintains carer visibility of the resident through the rail protection and folds neatly as the profiling bed rails are lowered for care access, maintaining the bumper in position during the care episode without removal and refitting between rail-lowering events.
- Range Available - part of the open-ended wipe-clean bumper range; also available in 200cm with hook and loop (NCL-TRCSB) and 200cm with zip fastening (NCL-TRCSBZ), and 220cm with hook and loop (NCL-TRCSB22); the machine washable 180cm version is NCL-TRCSBW18 for settings requiring launderable rather than wipe-clean bumpers.

Regulatory Compliance
MHRA guidance on bed rail safety requires full-length coverage of the rail; the 180cm specification is appropriate only where rail measurement confirms this length or less. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) requires that bed safety equipment is appropriate for the individual bed; the care home equipment register should record rail measurements to support correct length specification at procurement and replacement. NHS IPC decontamination of the wipe-clean outer with an approved disinfectant wipe supports hygiene between patient uses. A documented bed rail risk assessment is required before fitting, with Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations addressed where applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the 180cm version be chosen over the 200cm?
The 180cm version (NCL-TRCSB18) should be specified where measurement of the profiling bed side rail confirms a length of 180cm or less. Specifying the 200cm version for a 180cm rail would result in 20cm of excess bumper at one end that cannot be neatly fitted, potentially creating a loose section that does not provide effective rail protection. Side rail measurements should be recorded in the care home equipment register for each bed, and confirmed at each bumper replacement to ensure the correct length is maintained even if the bed base or rail configuration has been changed.
What is the difference between this wipe-clean version and the machine washable NCL-TRCSBW18?
The wipe-clean version (NCL-TRCSB18) is decontaminated between uses with an NHS IPC-compliant surface disinfectant wipe applied to the outer surface. The machine washable version (NCL-TRCSBW18) is laundered at the temperatures specified on the care label, providing deeper decontamination consistent with HTM 01-04 thermal disinfection requirements. The machine washable version is appropriate for settings where NHS IPC policy requires launderable bed safety equipment or where high-level decontamination following body fluid contamination is needed. The care home infection control policy should specify which decontamination method is required for bed rail covers.
