Norix Attenda Anti-Ligature Floor-Mount Desk – ATN601
Norix Attenda Anti-Ligature Floor-Mount Desk – ATN601
Molded Polyethylene Desk with Laminate Top and Modesty Panel for Behavioral Health and Corrections

The Norix Attenda Anti-Ligature Floor-Mount Desk is a molded desk for resident rooms in behavioral healthcare and correctional facilities. The base is rotationally molded from high-impact polyethylene, filled with rigid polyurethane foam for strength and sound absorption, and shaped with a built-in modesty panel. The high-pressure laminate top is fastened to the base with a steel-to-steel connection, and its molded edge is rounded for safety.
The base has no internal openings, and its slightly textured surface resists blood, urine, feces, vinegar, salt solution, and chlorine solution, so it can be cleaned with bleach solutions and hospital-grade disinfectants. Pair it with a Norix Vesta chair or an Attenda Floor-Mount Stool to complete the desk area.
