We worked with a local Mental Health facility to develop a new Suicide Prevention Shower Handle designed to discourage attempts at self-harm. Currently the design fits directly onto Powers© brand (Hydroguard Series 410) valves that were used at many NY facilities such as prisons and psychiatric units. (Update: Powers has recently modified the stock bezel for the 410 valve and is no longer a direct fit. In response to this we will manufacture a bezel similar to the Symmons(c) model above.)

We were brought in on this project because the current solutions were simply not practical for use with soapy hands. Our design solved the slippery issues and even looked better. We are in the process now of fitting the Suicide Prevention Shower Handle design to other valve brands and styles. Call 800-354-3569 for more info.
