In connection with the extension of a special section with 23 places in Region Zealand, which is established at Psychiatry South in Vordingborg, special products and curtain collection have been chosen from Arkisafe.

Based on good interior design and normalization, the department has now achieved a solution that is optimal for patients as they have the opportunity to darken and have the best possible peace.

Safety for patients and employees is a priority in the organisation of choices and solutions. For example, there are no parts that can be destroyed or used to cause self-harm or violence against others. The curtain rod is impossible to get down as it is fitted with safety screws. The patented curtain rod is designed so that the curtain easily clicks out at load and the staff can easily set up the curtain – at no cost to external craftsmen/fitters.

The products are all designed to reduce the number of incidents around suicide attempts, self-harm and violence against staff. An increasing challenge with major human and economic consequences.

Info on the solution:

The curtain rod consists of rod, hooks and two end stops. The solution has been tested by SP, Technical Research Institute of Sweden. The hooks loosen from the rod by affecting weight. One hook loosens at a maximum of 1.5 kg and a curtain with 20 hooks at a maximum of 16.7 kg of pull. See more here.
