TA1000 Series Anti-ligature solutions

Doors and door hardware are the primary anchor points in 28 percent of ligature-related suicide and suicide attempts in hospitals nearly double the next most common attachment point1.Reducing the likelihood of such attempts is a key concern in hospitals, behavioral health centers, jails and juvenile detention centers.

  • Consider this:
    In hospitals alone, there are more than 1,500 suicides each year.

  • Likewise, suicide remains the largest single cause of death during incarceration.

  • The problem also extends to juvenile confinement facilities. In a study from 1995 through 1999, ligature strangulation was used in 98.7 percent of suicides at such facilities with door hardware used as the attachment point in the majority of the cases.
