Specification Data Sheet

Designed to promote a normalised environment our innovative Australian Made WRAS approved GalvinCare® Mental Health Anti-Ligature Safe-Connect Shower Head offers an auto-divert detachable hose, providing two functions in one single fitting. This allows for the shower to be used for unassisted or assisted showering without the need to install two separate outlets and an in-wall diverter.

Minimising risk due to its anti-ligature and anti-vandal design, the fixed shower head can be safely used by patients independently. The inbuilt automatic diverter enables for a detachable hose to easily be connected, allowing carers to safely provide assisted showering and removing the hose from the room when not in use.

Patented in Australia (2018202412), New Zealand (741366) and Singapore (10201802953U); other international patents pending.
