Let's Talk Suicide Prevention

Ok, since cubicle curtains have been one of the greatest inventions since slice bread (exaggeration), giving privacy to patients (a most definite improvement in hospitals, clinics and schools). A new, well...not so new request for curtains that will not hold up to a persons weight in the case that they should try to use it as a rope to end their life, has brought forward the "Break-A-Way" system.

Imperial Fastener Company has met the challenge of providing such an innovative system that allows for privacy, security and safety. Across the US, several correctional facilities have been making use of this "Break-A-Way" system in the showers, and Psychiatric Hospitals have also benefitted from the use of these shower curtains, but have also been a fan of the "Break-A-Way" drapery system.

The "Break-A-Way" shower curtain system is fabricated to suit each individual facility's requirements, with options for clear panels at the top, bottom or both for security purposes in the prisons. The mesh at the top on some of the curtains is not only used for ventilation but when made wide enough, allows for accountability of the individual(s) in the shower stall.

Since the inception of the "Break-A-Way" system, Imperial Fastener Company has shown that versatility in the cubicle curtain industry is not just limited to hospitals alone.

Well done.
