Ligature-Resistant
Ligature-Resistant Bathroom Door for Behavioral Health
SHOWER’s innovative MegaHinge keeps the potential for entrapment points to a minimum and reduces the risk of ligature attachment through careful design, helping to improve patient safety within one of the most high-risk areas of a behavioral health facility.
The elegantly designed ligature-resistant EnduraFlex leaf panel provides a means of preserving patient privacy and dignity when using bathroom facilities.
Creating a therapeutic, safe environment in behavioral health bathrooms
SHOWER can be finished with custom imagery or a range of colors across the entirety of the EnduraFlex leaf. The introduction of calming landscapes or art pieces into the ward environment helps create a more welcoming, therapeutic environment that can help aid patient recovery journeys and wellbeing.
Third-Party Testing
Independent robustness and stress testing
The new SHOWER Door System was subjected to independent stress testing by Warringtonfire. Over 3kN of force was exerted on the SHOWER Door System in a linear motion to replicate the strenuous force that may be placed upon the door in challenging environments.
The SHOWER assembly performed remarkably well during the tests, flexing back to its original form after the force was removed with no significant damage and no patient safety risks arising as a result of the tests. Thanks to its high strength design, the SHOWER assembly comfortably withstood the maximum force the test rig was able to exert (over 3kN) and remained fit for use thereafter.
Independent flammability testing
The leaf material’s resistance to fire was independently tested by Impact Solutions, achieving rating V1 to UL94. This rating signifies that the leaf material will self-extinguish after the flame is removed and will not cause any flaming drip material.
