OUR DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN
We'd love to hear from you. To find out more contact us.
NO-KNOWN LIGATURE POINTS
The load release door leaves simply detach from the pivots if a weight of 14 pounds or more is applied - disrupting the ligature learning process.
Staff only reset option
When the leaves are detached from the pivots, they are reattached using the staff-only Lifeline key.
If clinical staff find the door leaves detached once, it can be noted as unintentional. When it starts to become a pattern, it can be a signpost to monitor a patient's behavior more closely and help to inform their care strategy.
Note: It's also possible to install the bathroom door without the staff-only reset function - meaning patients can reattach the leaves themselves.
DESIGNED WITH DIGNITY IN MIND
The leaves provide a partial visual screen, enabling clinical staff to carry out a quick head and feet check, without encroaching on patients' privacy or dignity.
Therapeutic environment
We're all greatly affected by our surroundings. They can have a profound impact on our mood, thoughts and feelings.
This is heightened in a behavioral health inpatient setting because people are going through a vulnerable time, and every detail of the built environment can have an impact.
That's why our bathroom door leaves are designed in a variety of plain colors and prints - so that the right design can be chosen to complement the environment.
MEETS PRACTICAL NEEDS OF A WARD
Reduced ligature magnetic pivots attach to an existing door frame in under 60 minutes - making it equally suitable for new constructions or renovation projects.
Common questions
Is it fire tested? Yes. It's achieved a Class A rating to ASTM E84 for flame spread and smoke. This cited in NFPA101.
It it water resistant? Yes. The outer PVC material is splash resistant and the edges of the doors are bonded together to protect the internal foam.
Does it pass infection control? Yes. It scored highly given the PVC leaves can be easily wiped clean, and there are no stitched edges which can be a significant infection risk.
INDEPENDENTLY ADVOCATED BY NURSING STAFF
On the left is a snapshot of a conversation between a patient reaching out on Twitter, and a member of clinical staff from
East London NHS in England recommending our bathroom door.
Based on feedback from patients, nursing staff, architects and more, we designed a bathroom door that addressed the critical requirements.
