Dispensers with anti-ligature safety features are disclosed herein. An anti-ligature dispenser may include a back mounting plate for mounting to a surface and a front housing cover with contoured and curved features that are substantially devoid of ligature anchoring points. Dispensing systems that allow for mechanically efficient actuation without providing gaps for ligature anchoring are also disclosed.

A showerhead is disclosed with a control surface about the lower periphery of the showerhead that can be continuously rotated through 360 degrees to control the water spray patterns exiting the showerhead. The control surface is mechanically linked by a cam track and mating cam followers to a set of plungers in the showerhead faceplate. The plungers can be axially moved within openings in the faceplate of the showerhead by rotation of the control surface. That axial movement of the plungers allows a user's adjustment of the spray patterns exiting the showerhead.
