Infection control
One of the most important aspects of the hospital
environment is infection control. It is now a major
factor in the assessment of a hospital's performance
and rightly so, as any improvements in infection
control can cause an immediate increase in the
number of lives saved. As risk of infection is
reduced, the quality of life for patients is enhanced.
Disposable curtains should become an integral
part of every hospital's overall infection control
strategy. A programme of regular replacement can be
augmented by a policy of immediate change in any
areas that have been exposed to high infection risk.
Recyclable and anti-bacterial
The curtains are manufactured from 100% recyclable
polypropylene and are treated with Endurocide anti-
bacterial formulation. Endurocide treated fabric has
been independently tested against a range of
bacteria including MRSA. It has proved to be
extremely effective, in both in anti-microbial activity
and in creating a zone of inhibition around the fabric.
The test results are available on request.
Enhanced quality of life for patients and staff
Conventional curtains that have been through many
wash cycles soon begin to look worn and tired.
Disposable curtains will always look fresh and
new - because they are! The curtains are
permanently pleated as part of the manufacturing
process, which ensures that they will always stack
neatly, and close to the wall, giving the ward a bright
and orderly appearance at all times.
