Patient’s Sink Faucet
U.S. Patent Pending
Suicide Prevention Patient Sink Faucet
 Metered Faucet (handles & spout) is encased in a high-impact solid surface material
(i.e. Corian type material). Comes in either 4” or 8” spread and fitted to your
backsplash or wall.
 Designed so that nothing can be tied to the fixture thus-eliminating existing hanging
points (i.e. handles & spout). The Solid-Surface material is permanent and cannot be
removed by the patient.
Norva Plastics’ self-closing, push-button, metered faucets will save you water, money
and exceed your energy saving goals. They are a LEED Approved product that will help
you save the environment.
 Fact: Our faucets save twice as much water as electronic faucets. Also they do not
require the constant maintenance or calibration as an electronic faucet.
 Our faucets can be equipped with an additional water saving aerator that can further
reduce bathroom faucet water use from 2.5 GPM to 1.0 GPM.
 Maintenance or water duration usage can be adjusted easily by technician without
removing the fixture from the sink.
 Esthetically pleasing to any administrator or human rights committee.

Sentinel Event Reduction Door
Winner
2007
Patient Safety
Award
•
The Sentinel Event Reduction Door (SER) is the first recognized and patented door
designed with safety features to prevent inpatient suicides.
• It is designed so that there are no anchoring or hanging points on any four sides of
the door.
• The SER door eliminates suicide hazards that exist with standard bathroom doors
in psych centers, hospitals, prisons and detention centers.
• The SER doors are constructed from ¾” thick extruded polymer resins that do not
splinter or crack under high abuse. The polymer doors may be painted to match any
color scheme. SER doors are mounted with a universal continuous hinge that may
be mounted to door frame or toilet partition and eliminates any gaps that may be
used as an anchoring point. The top of the door is angled, so anything hung over
will slide off.
