Leviton, through its Certolux lighting brand, has launched ShieldCare, a patented, ligature-resistant inset door frame for lighting fixtures engineered for the specific needs of behavioral health environments.
The door frame offers superior serviceability by allowing room-side access without disturbing sealant to reduce maintenance labor, downtime and long-term operational costs.
ShieldCare technology includes a one-piece, precision die-formed and welded sloping door frame that seals tightly to the housing, eliminating typical ligature points found in inset-door luminaires. This design helps to drastically reduce the risk of self-harm for patients and addresses the complex safety requirements of behavioral health facilities.
