“Like most psychiatric facilities, our patients are not permitted to have shoelaces for safety reasons. We were looking for a way of fastening patient shoes that was safe, comfortable, and would prevent potential trips and falls. We began using XTENEX laces… I would highly recommend these laces for use at any psychiatric facility.”
