Hospital privacy curtains are frequently and rapidly contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria
Another study, published in the same journal in March 2012, revealed that 95% of curtains studied were contaminated with either MRSA or vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) on at least one occasion over a three-week period. Authors of this study also recommended intervention to reduce contamination.

When combined with our SnapCubicle curtains, you now have an effective way to control the spread of infections through hospital cubicle curtains.
Our SnapCubicle curtain is a two part system which allows you to easily remove the fabric panel for laundering while leaving the mesh in place on the track. It provides a cost savings by allowing you to purchase only the components you need. Order replacement panels and mesh headers separately, instead of buying entire new curtain.
