Anti-ligature solutions are at the forefront of ensuring that sentinel incidents do not occur at places that are at the most risk of them happening such as at hospitals, behavior and correctional facilities, etc.

For the uninitiated, residents of such institutions sometimes plan to self-harm using what are known as pinch points, the hinges on which the doors open and shut. These doors in such institutions might also cause unintentional harm.

Over the past decade, incidents of self-harm and sentinel events involving at-risk patients have increased, making anti-ligature doors and other such solutions essential.

Though anti-ligature doors are essential to such safety, they are only half the job done. Door alarms are another necessity to ensure a completely safe environment for everyone who resides in, maintains, or oversees such an institution.

Institutions like hospitals, penitentiaries, and others walk a thin line between allowing patients and inmates required privacy and ensuring their safety, ensuring that self-harm instances don’t occur. The traditional doors offer multiple options for anyone looking for self-harm, with some doors offering more and some less.
