Anti-Ligature Products

Alongside Contour’s range of Anti-ligature radiators and guards, we have a comprehensive range of other anti-ligature solutions designed to be used in mental health and challenging environments.

Environments of this nature pose a series of suicide and self-harm risks, which has prompted us to develop our anti-ligature range.

An anti-ligature product is one that reduces the risk of someone tying material around a piece of furniture to inflict harm to themselves or anyone else. Particularly beneficial in mental health settings, Contour has worked hard to develop safe solutions for those at the most risk.

We have designed all these products with the safety and well-being of their users in mind, whilst offering an array of bespoke fitting and colour options to suit your individual settings’ needs.

A professional and extensive service offering is available to support your anti-ligature radiator project, comprising technical site consultations and surveys, short lead times, dedicated delivery and technical departments, bespoke design and an accredited nationwide radiator guard installer network.

Speak to an Expert about How Deepclean can save you money

The business case for specifying Anti-Ligature

Contour has enabled the NHS to potentially save over £35 million since 2006*

We’ve achieved this by developing the revolutionary DeepClean LST and anti-ligature guard range. On this basis here’s an example costing based on a hospital with 150 radiators that require a full weekly clean.

Download Our Business Case Document

Traditional LST

2 person job involving estates personnel.

Conservatively estimate at least 30 minutes to remove 1 LST casing, clean casing internally, clean radiator, clean wall, clean floor and refit casing (wall & back of radiator cannot be cleaned). Excludes replacing silicon sealant around unit.

7 hours working day = 14 LST radiator guards cleaned per day per team.

Over 10 days required for 2 people to clean the 150 radiators in the property.

Weekly cleaning of these radiators would require 2 teams of two staff, both working at least 5 days a week to complete 1 cleaning cycle.

An annual budget of at least £63,481.60 at the National Living Wage (£8.72 ph as of 19/5/21) would be required to clean all 150 radiators on a weekly basis.

DeepClean LST

1 cleaning operative alone can now open the LST casing.

5 minutes to clean every internal surface of the casings and the radiator, including back of radiator and whole wall space. No need to replace sealant around units.

In an avergae day of 7 working hours, 1 person can clean 84 radiators.

Allow 2 days for 1 person to clean every radiatir in the property.

Weekly cleaning would now realistically require only 1 dedicated cleaner, with little or no support from the estates department.

At the National Living Wage (£8.72 ph as of 19/5/21) weekly cleaning of these radiatirs would cost the hospital £6,348.16 per year.
