We have a clear understanding of ‘anti-ligature’ requirements in the healthcare sector and specifically where there are situations requiring a special product to reduce self-harm incidents.

Silent Gliss 6650 Cubicle Safety device is used to minimise such situations. It is designed so that should a person attempt self-harm using curtain tracks, the track will release once pressure is applied to its components. No part of this device can then be used in any attempt of self-harm. However, the rail is easily restored to its rightful position in order that it can be reused in the normal way.

Blinds can also be installed with the use of magnets to reduce similar risks, as can wardrobe and towel rails. Curtains can be made with press stud tops and tie backs can be installed using Velcro fittings.
