WETHERBY, England, June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

According to protective clothing manufacturer, BitePRO [

http://www.bite-pro.com/ ], specifically designed protective clothing for

health care professionals, as well as patients and service users, will help

reduce the use of force within mental health care.

Well documented incidents related to the use of force, control, and restraint

by those in a position of care have recently made global headlines. Including

instances of excessive force within care, special needs, and mental health

units.

BitePRO offers protective clothing to assist in reducing instances of restraint

and force when undergoing manual handling of individuals exhibiting behaviours

that challenge.

BitePRO also wishes to support the promotion of a human rights-based approach

to the use of force, giving front line professionals tools to help them to work

closely with patients and develop therapeutic environments which ensure that

force is used as a last resort.

Following customer feedback, the potential of discreet protective clothing for

staff as an essential step toward reaching this goal has been recognised and

the demand for protective clothing in mental health care was established.

This demand was found after an international customer survey where the clothing

manufacturer highlighted that 92% of participants found that their staff felt

more confident de-escalating upon wearing the company's protective garments.

Senior Product Consultant Rachel Riding says: "To allow staff to feel safer

de-escalating, reducing the need for the use of force and restraint, they

should be given access to personal protection as a matter of priority."

She continues: "We hope that they will be able to confidently diffuse a

situation where they, or the patient, are at risk of injury and trauma before

reaching crisis point."

BitePRO has already supplied a considerable amount of grab bags [

popular garment models, to hospitals, special education, and mental health

units globally.
