BestCare Behavioral Healthcare and Ligature-Resistant Products Patients, not Prisoners MORRIS GROUP INTERNATIONAL
WHAT IS BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE? Staying healthy is more than just taking care of one s physical health. Behavioral Healthcare is a term that is often used interchangeably with mental health, encompassing all treatment of psychiatric illness and/or substance abuse. Suicides within healthcare facilities: Suicides now outpace car crashes as the leading cause of death from injury. 1 1800 inpatient suicides yearly 2 75% of suicides occur in the patient s bathroom, bedroom, or closet. 2 50% of all suicides result in legal claims. 2 It only takes 4-5 minutes of pressure on the carotid arteries for death to occur, making the current system of 15-minute checks on patients insufficient. 2 The Joint Commission reports that in 309 of 685 reported suicides, physical environment was one of the root causes. 3 50% of all suicides result in legal claims. 2 2 800.782.7706/626.968.6681 www.whitehallmfg.com

FAUCETS LIGATURE RESISTANT SENSOR OPERATED FAUCET The Ligature Resistant Sensor Operated Faucet is designed to retrofit existing lavatories or it can be specified for new construction. For retrofit into three hole lavatory decks, a plug with a stainless steel top is provided. For new construction, the spout and pushbutton may be installed with any centerset spacing. The infrared sensor is electronically operated with a supplied AC transformer (-BAT option provides a DC battery pack); Metering, with 0.7 gpm flow control. WH3740-3373-SO STAINLESS STEEL HOT & COLD AND SINGLE TEMPERATURE FAUCETS BestCare ligature-resistant faucets are specially designed with sloping surfaces and minimally protruding buttons to minimize ligature points. The faucets come in either a hot & cold configuration or a single temperature configuration. Designed with both new construction and retrofit in mind, the faucets come in many different rough-ins to fit most any application. All of the BestCare faucets come with valves that allow the facility to time the amount of water that will be delivered to the user when activated. There are two different varieties of valves - pneumatic and electronic. The pneumatic valve is pushbutton controlled, using air to activate the valve (ideal for retrofit because electricity is not required). The electronic valve is pushbutton activated and available for both hard wire and battery operated applications. All of the faucets meet lead free requirements. The water from the faucet arcs comfortably into the middle of the washbasin bowl.
