Choosing Hospital Privacy Curtains

Privacy curtains protect patient dignity and help control the spread of contamination between beds. They are also among the most frequently touched surfaces in a patient room.

Reusable or disposable?

Reusable curtains are laundered and rehung; they suit facilities with a reliable laundry process and a curtain-changing schedule. Disposable curtains are replaced rather than washed, which can simplify changeovers in isolation rooms.

Key specifications

• Mesh top — allows light and airflow and keeps sprinkler coverage clear. Check local fire and building requirements for mesh height.
• Fabric — flame-retardant, durable fabrics that keep their colour after repeated washing.
• Width and drop — enough fullness to close completely around the bed.
• Hooks and track — compatible with your existing track system for quick changes.

Changing schedule

Set a routine for changing curtains, plus immediate changes when a curtain is visibly soiled or after an isolation patient is discharged. Keeping spare sets in stock makes this practical.
