Anti-ligature clothing is designed to prevent individuals from using it to commit suicide, by hanging or other means. It is typically used in custodial and secure locations for segregated and vulnerable high-risk individuals. Anti-ligature clothing is part of a range of anti-ligature products that are designed to reduce the risk of self-harm or suicide by individuals in facilities such as hospitals, psychiatric wards, and prisons.

Anti-ligature clothing is engineered to be comfortable, yet fire-retardant, strong, sturdy, and anti-tear (or un-rippable) to ensure that the fabric cannot be destroyed and turned into a ligature. The clothing is designed to be warm and safe for the wearer. Anti-ligature clothing is constructed from a range of materials, including needle-punched polyester, which provides additional strength.

In addition to anti-ligature clothing, other anti-ligature products include anti-ligature hooks, shower curtains, shower rails, and lighting. These products are designed to reduce the risk of self-harm or suicide by individuals in facilities such as hospitals, psychiatric wards, and prisons.
