For Estates and Property Managers in the Mental Health industry, staying updated on product improvements and changes is a constant challenge. The opportunity to see design innovations that make environments safer for clients is what makes the Design In Mental Health (DIMH) exhibition the must-attend event of the year.

DIMH 2024 was recently held in Manchester, attracting numerous exhibitors and a record number of attendees from both the public and private sectors, including many international participants.

Contour was among the exhibitors, eager to showcase their award-winning ranges of radiator covers, LST radiators, and other anti-ligature products. They also launched new product lines to UK mental health decision-makers, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to advancing safety and functionality in mental health environments.

Throughout the event, the Contour team showcased the innovative features and benefits of its new product line, highlighting how each product addresses the specific needs of mental health facilities.

The new products that Contour launched at Design in Mental Health 2024 included:

Padded Radiator Cover

Safety and comfort are paramount in mental health environments, and the Padded Radiator Cover exemplifies this principle. Designed to prevent injuries from accidental impacts, this cover features a cushioned exterior that reduces the risk of harm while maintaining the radiator’s functionality. The Padded Radiator Cover is easy to clean and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance in high-traffic areas. Its sleek design also integrates seamlessly with various interior styles, providing both safety and aesthetic appeal.

Anti-Ligature Window Protector

The Anti-Ligature Window Protector is a crucial addition to Contour's product lineup, designed to enhance patient safety by minimising ligature points on windows. Constructed with robust materials and an innovative design, it withstands tampering and ensures maximum security. This protector allows natural light to enter the room while maintaining a safe environment, essential for patient well-being and recovery. The Anti-Ligature Window Protector is an indispensable feature for any mental health facility committed to safety and patient care.

Anti-Ligature Window Protector Inset

Building on the success of the Anti-Ligature Window Protector, the Anti-Ligature Window Protector Inset offers an additional layer of protection. This inset fits seamlessly into existing window frames, providing an extra barrier against ligature risks without compromising the window's functionality or aesthetics. Its discreet design ensures that patients can enjoy a safe and comfortable environment without feeling confined or restricted. The Anti-Ligature Window Protector Inset is a versatile solution suitable for both new constructions and retrofit projects.

Anti-Ligature Security Cam Lock

Security is a critical concern in mental health facilities, and the new Anti-Ligature Security Cam Lock addresses this need with precision. Designed to prevent tampering and unauthorised access, this lock offers a secure locking mechanism that minimises ligature risks. Its sturdy construction and easy-to-use design make it an ideal choice for securing radiators, anti-ligature products, and other areas where safety is paramount. The Anti-Ligature Security Cam Lock is an essential component for maintaining a secure and therapeutic environment in mental health settings.
