Understanding Ligature-Resistant Design

Ligature resistance refers to products designed to minimize the risk of self-harm by preventing patients from attaching a cord, rope, or other material that could cause injury. These features are vital in settings where mental health treatment and care are a priority.

Whitehall Manufacturing’s BestCare line integrates ligature resistance with durable, high-quality designs to enhance patient safety while maintaining usability for healthcare providers.
