In connection with the renovation of patient rooms and living rooms at Psychiatry in Brønderslev, the choice fell on the secured and suicide prevention curtain solution from Arkisafe.
The curtains are fitted and the staff say that they benefit greatly from the secured solution, which helps to keep them and the residents safe in everyday life.
In addition to our curtain solution, Psychiatry in Brønderslev also chose to introduce new drinking glasses that are 100 impact-proof and which help to make the drinking experience for the resident as normalized as possible without compromising safety. Similarly, there is now savings on the purchase of disposable mugs.
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 of mind.
Safety for patients and employees is a high priority when choosing solutions for the device. 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 reseal 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 about the curtain 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.
