NO-KNOWN LIGATURE POINTS
The load release door leaves simply detach from the pivots if a weight of 8kg or more is applied - disrupting the ligature learning process.
DESIGNED WITH RECOVERY 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.
MEETS PRACTICAL NEEDS OF A WARD
The anti-ligature magnetic pivots attach to an existing door frame in under 60 minutes - making it equally suitable for new builds or as a retrofit solution.
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 behaviour more closely and help to inform their care plan.
Note: It's also possible to install the en-suite door without the staff-only reset function - meaning patients can reattach the leaves themselves.
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 mental 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 en-suite leaves are designed in a variety of plain colours and prints - so that the right design can be chosen to complement the environment.
Common questions
Is it fire tested? Yes. It passes both BS EN 597 and BS EN 1021 match flame equivalent.
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.
