Without a double neckline facing

It’s pretty common to place a double neckline facing inside anti-suicide gowns. However, that can be uncomfortable for the wearer. This kind of neckline facing is usually needed because of the low tear strength of the fabrics used. Heavy stitching methods are needed to make suicide-prevention clothing safe to use.

Thanks to the extremely high tear resistance of the Tricot Extreme fabric, there’s no need for a double neckline facing. You will provide much greater comfort for the individual patient or inmate needing to wear the gown.

Tear resistant gowns in white

The gowns are also available in white. This way you can always choose a colour that suits the needs of your organisation.

Visibility of blood

Camera surveillance in seclusion rooms is sometimes needed for patients who are on suicide watch.

On the white gowns, it will be much easier to detect blood on the cameras.
