Ligature Training Dummy
Ligature Training Manikin
Tragically, death by suicide is an increasing problem in society. Institutions within the fields of Mental Health Care, Learning Disability, Police, Prisons, Care Homes and other high risk environments who face and need to manage suicides and self harm on a regular basis, must equip their staff with the right training to safely and sensitively manage such scenarios, including the use of a hook knife to properly release a ligature.
