We’re pleased to announce our exclusive partnership with Hipac Healthcare in Australia. Over the last year, we have worked closely together to launch our Anti-barricade Doorset (Swiftstop) with a Full-Door Ligature Alarm to help improve mental health environments across Australia.
We are confident that Hipac's experience and product knowledge of the mental health sector in Australia, along with our anti-barricade doorset and full-door ligature alarm, will increase safety for both patients and staff whilst aiding recovery.
What is the Swiftstop Doorset with Full-Door Ligature Alarm?
49% of inpatient suicides occur through the use of doors and door hardware.
Safehinge Primera is dedicated to preventing patient suicides and has worked closely with healthcare professionals and patients to design doorsets that can overcome even the most determined door barricades, anti-ligature locksets that minimize ligature risk and a door alarm sensor that supports clinical observation and helps improve safety in mental health facilities.
The Swiftstop doorset is a robust, reliable anti-barricade door fitted with anti-ligature hardware. It provides emergency access to a patient's bedroom and minimizes ligature risk while blending seamlessly into the building environment. The anti-barricade and anti-ligature door can be fitted with the world's first and only Full-Door Ligature Alarm that detects ligature attempts across the entire door - supporting clinical observation and ultimately helping to save lives.
The Anti-barricade doorset has been designed specifically for mental health spaces and is available with various features that support suicide prevention within those challenging environments:
- Anti-barricade doorstop allows the staff to overcome even the most determined barricades in less than 5 seconds, the fastest and safest on the market,
- The doorstop allows the staff to remain in a safe position while operating the door release mechanism,
- Override the lock - our mechanical and electronic locksets have five key methods of overriding the lock, ensuring staff can always gain reliable access in an emergency.
- Innovative electronic lock with built-in override provides the highest level of access while supporting the patient's recovery with an access control system.
