Specification Data Sheet

Designed to promote a normalised environment our innovative Australian Made 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 ligature resistant and vandal resistant 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.

Galvin Engineering offers a range of ligature resistant, anti-ligature, vandal resistant, and anti-vandal products designed to reduce the risk of self-harm, suicide, or vandalism, but we cannot offer any guarantee that these events will not take place. Therefore, it is important to understand that installation of these products will not eliminate all risks.

When we use the terms ligature resistant and/or anti-ligature about our products, it means that we have designed and tested these products to reduce the risk of that product being used as a ligature attachment point.

They are not a replacement for professionals who are trained in the proper evaluation, management, and supervision of persons at risk of self-harm or suicide.

When we use the terms vandal resistant and/or anti-vandal about our products, it means that we have designed and tested these products to reduce the risk of that product being vandalised. They will not protect or prevent damage when the risks were unknown to us at the time of the design of the products.

Galvin Engineering recommends that designers, installers, facility managers, and anyone intending to rely on or use any products displayed in our literature or on our website, satisfy themselves about the suitability of the products for their intended use in the building design, and ensure they are being installed, used, and maintained in accordance with our instructions. Facility managers, clinicians, and carers need to ensure that reasonable steps are taken to reduce the accessibility of unnecessary ligatures to at-risk patients, confirm that adequate risk mitigation controls are in place, and make sure that applicable health, safety and patient care standards are being met.
