Two Rail Bumper with Net Window (220 cm Hook and Loop Fastening)
- 220cm Extended Length - the 220cm open-ended wipe-clean bumper is the longest version in the open-ended range, suited to profiling beds with extended side rail configurations where the 200cm version would not cover the full rail length; measuring the rail before procurement is essential to confirm the 220cm specification is appropriate and to prevent unprotected gaps at the rail end.
- Open-Ended Wipe-Clean Design - open-ended format provides ventilation and flexibility at the rail end points, accommodating a wider range of rail end profiles; wipe-clean outer material supports NHS IPC decontamination between patient uses with a clinical surface disinfectant wipe; hook and loop fastenings for quick fitting; supplied in pairs.
- Concertina Net Window - strong see-through concertina net window maintains carer visibility of the resident through the rail protection; the net folds neatly as the profiling bed rails are lowered for care access and extends back to its flat, taut position when the rail is raised, maintaining continuous protection throughout the clinical care workflow without removal.
- Completing the Open-Ended Range - completes the open-ended wipe-clean bumper range alongside the 200cm hook and loop (NCL-TRCSB), 200cm zip (NCL-TRCSBZ), and 180cm hook and loop (NCL-TRCSB18); the machine washable 220cm version is NCL-TRCSBW22; the floor-clear net base 220cm version is NCL-TRCSB22-CB.

Regulatory Compliance
MHRA guidance on bed rail safety requires that bumpers provide continuous full-length coverage of the rail; the 220cm specification must only be used where rail measurement confirms this length, as an oversized bumper cannot be fitted correctly and may compromise the protection provided. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) documentation should record the rail measurement and the rationale for specifying the 220cm length. NHS IPC decontamination with an approved wipe-clean disinfectant between uses is required per the care home infection control policy. The machine washable equivalent (NCL-TRCSBW22) provides deeper decontamination capability where NHS IPC policy requires launderable bed safety equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the open-ended 220cm bumper differ from the machine washable or net base versions at the same length?
At 220cm, three different bumper specifications are available: the open-ended wipe-clean version (NCL-TRCSB22), the machine washable quilted version (NCL-TRCSBW22), and the floor-clear net base version (NCL-TRCSB22-CB). The open-ended wipe-clean version is appropriate where standard decontamination between uses is the NHS IPC requirement and floor contact during rail lowering is not identified as a specific risk. The machine washable version is appropriate where laundering is the required decontamination method. The net base version is appropriate where preventing floor contact during rail lowering is the specific clinical priority. The bed rail risk assessment and care home infection control policy together determine which specification is most appropriate.
Can open-ended bumpers be used on non-profiling beds?
Open-ended bumpers are designed and specified for profiling beds with full-length wooden side rails. For standard hospital-style beds with metal side rails or partial-length rails, the bumper dimensions and hook and loop fastening method must be confirmed compatible with the specific rail profile before use. The MHRA guidance on bed rail safety and the bed rail risk assessment for the individual bed should confirm the appropriate bumper specification for the bed type; using a bumper specified for a different bed type may result in insecure fitting that does not provide effective impact protection.
