Gent ALD-302 Universal Anti Ligature Base

This Universal Anti-Ligature Base provides additional safety to occupants within secure facilities. It is ideal for environments such as hospitals, prisons, mental health units and other secure facilities that house and support vulnerable people.

Approved for in-cell detection by the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) in England, it now has an anti-tamper lip to prevent the storage of contraband between base & detector.

When planning the construction or refurbishment of such a facility, it is essential to eliminate points where a cord, rope, or bed sheet can be looped or tied to a fixture in order to create a point of ligature, which may result in self-harm or, in extreme cases, loss of life. Many fittings that would usually be considered perfectly safe pose a risk of ligature, so products need to be modified to maintain the same functionality, yet provide a safe environment. Equally, devices must not offer an opportunity to hide drugs, knives, razor blades or any other items that could be used for self-inflicted damage.

With this in mind, an anti-tamper lip has been incorporated, which ensures that contraband cannot be stored within it. It also has a built in magnetic switch that provides loop continuity even when multiple devices are removed. This ensures full loop integrity without the need for a separate T-Breaker; something that will help reduce the overall cost of installation. As well as being easy to install, it is certified to 6.4kg release load and it is easy to reinstate the device if removed.
