Description
We supply the Seclusion Gown for people under observation. They may be in seclusion sections or locked wards in psychiatric care facilities. This product is made from a very strong anti-ligature material with strong, thick stitching, ensuring that ligatures will be extremely difficult for a patient to make. Psychiatric wards of many hospitals purchase this product because it is difficult for agitated people to tear the material.
Key Features
- Available in two material options:
- Standard - Maroon - A polyester/synthetic/semi-synthetic blend
- Fire Retardant - Blue
- Also available in our Seclusion Room range:
Additional Information
The Seclusion Gown is designed to withstand a lot of stress, making it suitable for use in psychiatric care facilities.

Cleaning
Standard: Wash up to 80°C (176°F). Air or tumble dry on a cool setting, ensuring the drum is cool. Ensure the product is dry before using or storing.
Fire Retardant Material: Wash all Fire-Retardant Material products as instructed below before first use. Cold or warm machine wash up to 75°C. Air or tumble dry on a cool setting, ensuring the drum is cool. Ensure the product is dry before using or storing.
All Proban® treated fabrics are tested to meet Standard EN 531:1995 (50 washes at 75°C) and are certified by Rhodia Consumer Specialties Limited who manufacture the Proban chemical, to maintain their flame retardant qualities for 50 washes, as long as the correct laundering procedures are followed. Independent tests of Proban-treated garments have passed the flammability test after 100 to 150 washes.
Some important considerations when laundering Fire Retardant fabric:
- Proban fabrics are thoroughly tested for flame retardant performance and durability to washing; however, if the material is not laundered correctly, it can fail flammability tests after a few washes.
- Proban treated articles may be washed in any conventional washing machine using a cold or warm wash, up to 75°C. Use the non-colour fast machine setting.
- Regular washing will help prevent soiling build-up. A pre-soak of up to two hours may help for heavily soiled items.
- Use synthetic detergents only (e.g. Cold Power, Drive, Spree, Dynamo, FAB, Biozet, Radiant, Castle, OMO, Surf, etc.).
- Do not wash Proban garments in traditional soap powders as these types of soaps (Lux, Advance, Velvet, etc.) can form flammable deposits that may affect the fabric's flame retardant qualities.
- Never use hypochlorite-based bleaches (e.g. White King, Domestos, and other supermarket blends) as they will attack the Proban finish and can reduce its flame retardant properties.
- Garments can be tumble dried; however, to avoid shrinkage, take care not to over-dry.
Important
Always inspect for signs of wear and tear before each use. Assess the integrity of the material before each use.
Warranty Exclusion: Some patients who use the Seclusion products can have unpredictable behaviour, including violence. We are therefore unable to offer our normal warranty on these products.
Restraints are a prescribed item. Care Facilities such as Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Aged Care Facilities etc., may order this item. For private sales to a family member, written authorisation is needed from a qualified therapist or medical doctor, approving the use of the correct Restraint for the patient's current condition. Remember if the patient's condition changes, then a different type of Restraint may be required. It is necessary to ensure the family are aware of the proper use of Restraints, as these can be dangerous if not used correctly.
