Doncaster-based Intastop – a leading manufacturer of door and wall protection products – will showcase a wide range of anti-ligature solutions at the 'Design in Mental Health' exhibition, which is being held at the National Motorcycle Museum, near Solihull, from 12-14 May this year.
Intastop’s expanding range of anti-ligature products has been developed in response to the National Confidential Enquiry Into Suicide Report, which made several recommendations, including the coverage, or removal, of all likely ligature points.
The Intastop Door Top Alarm proved very popular at last year’s exhibition, and will once again take pride of place on the company’s stand. The alarm addresses Priority 1 Suicide prevention issues, to which it is said to provide ‘an effective solution’. Designed specifically for retrofit and new-build mental health establishments, the alarm triggers staff alerts via a wide choice of options.
In addition to the Door Top Alarm, Intastop will also show its Double Swing Hinge Package – a ‘top-performing’ mechanism which enables doors to open quickly and easily in the opposite direction when emergencies arise.
The exhibition will also see the launch of a ‘new and improved’ anti-ligature tip for the company’s successful Continuous Geared Hinge, plus the latest Removable Doorstop, and the Intastop Anti-Ligature Handrail. Designed to be fixed without leaving a gap behind the rail, the latter features a continuous full length bracket said to ‘greatly reduce’ potential ligature risk.
Intastop’s marketing director, Sarah Barsby, is greatly looking forward to this year’s exhibition. She said: "With approximately a quarter of people in Britain experiencing some form of mental health problem during their lifetime, it is imperative that issues surrounding the ongoing diagnosis, care, treatment, and safety of these individuals is addressed in all areas of the sector. Attending the 'Design in Mental Health' exhibition allows us not only to promote our products to the relevant market, but to also identify other key, ongoing issues which then drive our new product development programme."
