Every year, more than 11,000 young children (0-4 years) in the United Kingdom and 1,900 children in the Netherlands are rushed to hospital with finger injuries from being trapped in door hinges or doors slamming shut. The actual number of cases is likely to be much higher, since many children will be treated by local doctors only. The crush injuries range from bruising and ligament damage to broken bones. It’s an agonising and traumatic experience for a child and yet it is easily preventable. Finger entrapment is a top-5 reason why young children are rushed for Accident & Emergency treatments in hospitals.
A simple plastic strip can prevent this trauma. In Europe, more and more countries, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Slovenia, have made it mandatory to install finger protection strips for doors in nurseries, kindergartens and day-care centres. In the future, many countries around the world will implement similar door safety regulations.
Veilige has a full range of finger protection products, which are:
1. Veilige STD 120 and 180
2. Veilige COM 100
3. Veilige PRO 180
Veilige door safety strips are available in two versions, one for the consumer market and one for the professional market (kindergartens, pre-schools, nurseries) and cover the inner and outer hinge of the door. The Happy Fingers door blocker is for the handle side of the door.
