Hook Max5 – ligature resistant

The ligature resistant hook Max5 is designed to minimise the risk of self-harm in environments with elevated safety requirements. The hook can hold the weight of one piece of garments or a damp towel without compromising function or safety.

• The Hook Max5 automatically releases in any direction when subjected to a load exceeding 5 kg.
• Bends gently and returns to its original shape
• Non-institutional design available in multiple colours

The Hook Max5 is particularly suitable for all environments with high safety requirements, such as psychiatric care, youth care, treatment centres and correctional facilities.

The Hook Max5 is the result of long-term and carefully considered product development. It is made from a unique, flexible material that causes the hook to bend under load and release at 5 kg or more – regardless of direction. This means that cords, straps or similar objects detach from the hook when subjected to force, thereby reducing the risk of use in self-harming through suspension. When the load is removed, the hook returns to its original shape and function, entirely without damage.

The soft and compliant construction also reduces the risk of bodily injury in the event of a fall or accidental impact.

Thanks to its discreet, everyday appearance, the hook does not appear institutional. The hook is available in five colour options – white, black, grey, beige and magenta – to suit a variety of rooms and interiors.

The hook supports the weight of one or a couple of lightweight garments or a wet towel, but releases when additional force is applied. It does not break but bends, allowing the ligature to slip off. Release occurs in all directions, which means the hook can also be placed near doors or other sensitive areas.
