Two Rail Bumper with Net Window (200 cm Zip Fastening)
- Zip Fastening for Secure Closure - zip fastening provides a more precisely positioned and tamper-resistant closure than hook and loop fastenings, making this version appropriate for settings where the bumper must remain securely in position throughout the night without risk of inadvertent loosening during patient movement; the zip closure also provides a cleaner line of contact with the rail profile.
- Open-Ended Wipe-Clean Design - open-ended format provides additional ventilation and flexibility at the rail end points; wipe-clean outer material supports NHS IPC decontamination between patient uses; the 200cm length suits standard adult care home profiling beds with full-length wooden side rails requiring padded impact protection at top and bottom rail positions.
- Concertina Net Window - strong see-through concertina net window maintains carer visibility of the resident through the rail protection; the concertina design folds neatly as the profiling bed rails are lowered for care access without requiring bumper removal, maintaining continuous protection through the clinical care workflow.
- Hook and Loop Version Available - supplied in pairs; the hook and loop fastening version is available as NCL-TRCSB for settings where faster fitting and removal is the priority; both versions provide the same open-ended 200cm wipe-clean bumper specification; length options 180cm (NCL-TRCSB18) and 220cm (NCL-TRCSB22) are available in hook and loop fastening.

Regulatory Compliance
CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) requires that bed safety equipment is appropriate for the individual bed and maintained in a secure condition during use. The zip fastening provides a more tamper-resistant closure than hook and loop, which may be advantageous for residents who interact with or pull at the bed rail covers. MHRA guidance on bed rail safety requires that bumpers remain securely in position throughout the protection period; the zip closure directly supports this requirement. NHS IPC decontamination of the wipe-clean outer is supported by the zip fastening allowing the cover to be held flat against the rail during wiping without the hook and loop edges lifting. A documented bed rail risk assessment is required before fitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the zip fastening version be chosen over hook and loop?
The zip fastening version (NCL-TRCSBZ) should be specified where care staff assess that a more secure and tamper-resistant closure is required - for example, for residents who interact with or pull at bed rail covers during the night, where hook and loop fastenings might be loosened by resident movement. The zip closure also provides a more precise and consistent position on the rail throughout the protection period. Hook and loop (NCL-TRCSB) is preferred where faster removal and refitting by carers during frequent care access is the priority, as zip fastenings take slightly longer to open and close than hook and loop.
Can the zip fastening bumpers be machine washed?
The NCL-TRCSBZ is a wipe-clean specification, not a machine washable specification. For NHS IPC decontamination, the wipe-clean outer should be wiped with an approved surface disinfectant wipe between uses. For high-level decontamination requirements, the machine washable versions (NCL-TRCSBW18, NCL-TRCSBW, NCL-TRCSBW22) are the appropriate specification. Confirm the care home's infection control policy for the decontamination method required for bed rail covers before specifying either the wipe-clean or machine washable version.
