Overcoming ‘the last unsolved ligature risk’
Kingsway Group will showcase its ‘ground-breaking’ new SENTRY full-door edge ligature alarm system, alongside its ‘renowned’ anti-barricade complete doorsets and anti-ligature washroom accessories.
The company said: “Well known for our innovative approach to design and collaboration, we have taken the knowledge and learnings from over 2,000 successfully completed projects to bring together a new range of anti- ligature door systems and hardware, exclusively designed and tested for the mental health environment.”
The SENTRY complete doorset is said to offer ‘the highest level of patient safety’ through its full-door edge ligature alarm system, which recognises if a ligature is trapped against any of the door edges, and will activate when a load of over 7kg is applied horizontally or vertically. Kingsway said: “This life-saving technology works when the door is both open and closed, alerting clinical staff at the earliest possible moment. As with all our door systems, SENTRY is supplied as a complete and certified doorset, allowing quick and easy on-site installation.”
“Doors have long been the last unsolved ligature risk, but with the new SENTRY, that has now changed,” said director, Julian Hall. “We are excited to be showcasing it at this year’s Healthcare Estates exhibition, and would be pleased to welcome you to our stand, D8, for a full demonstration.”
