DiMH 2022 PREVIEW Addressing industry challenges
Intastop will showcase its Secura product range, specifically designed to help reduce the risk of ligature from high-risk points such as doors. It said: “Addressing industry challenges is fundamental to our ‘Protecting Doors and People’ philosophy. We have thus worked closely with similar companies globally to develop a comprehensive range of Secura products – all designed to ensure that patients and staff are kept safe and comfortable.” Intastop says the ‘starting point’ for the
Secura range was ‘the primary challenge with doors’. It explained: “Often, they used to be chamfered, which then presented
Beautiful chairs’ ‘organic curves’
Poppi Contract Furniture is pleased to be exhibiting at the annual DiMH event once again. The furniture specialist said: “Throughout the past few years, we have been working on new designs, including our Sorento and Toledo chairs. Apart from the security specifications you would expect for challenging environments, these incorporate many additional features – including 100% recyclable non-foam fillings, along with a host of environmentally-friendly hygienic cover options. The organic curves of these beautiful chairs provide a calming and welcoming contemporary look for modern hospital environments.” It continued: “We will also have
several new items on display, along with seating recently supplied to the Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust Rowan View project.” The £53 m ‘state-of-the-art’ 123-bed unit aims ‘to reconfigure care services across the region, integrate expertise and innovative approaches to care and recovery, and create a new centre of excellence in forensic care’. Based at Mersey Care’s Maghull Health Park, 10 miles from central Liverpool, the Rowan View medium secure unit co-locates mental health and learning disability care services in new regional facilities.
alternative challenges, including privacy and security.” Intastop claims to have been the first
company to introduce a Door Top Alarm which activates an audible sound, and links with staff alert systems if pressure is applied to the door top. Having enhanced this further, it will showcase a compatible alarm for the door bottom, after research found that the base of a door can also pose a ligature risk. Both alarms work with other Secura products, such as the Removable Door Stop, Frame Mounted Closer, Full Mortice Shrouded Hinge, and Secura Clear vision panel. Also shown on an ‘interactive’ stand
will be the Shrouded Double Swing Hinge with Twin Smoke Seals, which meets FD30S doorset requirements, meaning the integrity of the door provides increased fire safety, while reducing ligature risk and giving easy access for staff.
‘Evolved and enhanced’ staff protection systems
Pinpoint, a provider of staff safety systems, is releasing ‘the next generation of its award-winning security products’. Over the past 30 years, the family-
owned business has successfully developed, manufactured, and installed safety alarm systems to protect those working in high-risk environments. It said: “Now we are taking advantage of our three decades of experience to elevate the existing systems with new, advanced technology that will improve the efficacy and accuracy of staff alarms.” Pinpoint’s ‘renowned’ Personal
Infrared Transmitters (PITs) are the first to undergo a renovation. The body- worn personal alarm systems have been given a longer battery life, with the option of being both battery operated and rechargeable, depending on the charging facility available. A new rubber
over-mould allows for better grip, while the cap has been redesigned to increase the product’s durability.
Allan Aikman,
Product (Design) manager, said: “These upgrades will ensure that our products are as accessible as possible for both staff and service-users. The designs are sleeker and more modern, the technology is enhanced, and the products more durable. Using the evolved PITs, staff members can be 100 per cent confident of their security, regardless of their shift type and location.”
Outdoor, sensory, and educational equipment
Founded on strong family values, and with its sales team having ‘a wealth of experience’, provider of outdoor, sensory, and educational equipment, Creative Activity, promises to showcase ‘some exciting new developments’. It said: “Come along to Stand 117 to
