Privacy curtains pose a high risk for cross-contamination because they are frequently touched but infrequently changed. Studies show hospital curtains can harbor MRSA, VRE, and more, which poses a potential pathogenic threat to patients and staff. The CHANGE ME CURTAIN® system can be key to reducing infections by making the curtain-changing process so fast and easy it can be performed at any time by anyone. Made from polypropylene, a non-woven fabric, our curtains are electrostatic-sprayer friendly, and our patent-pending EcoCurtain™
is the only biodegradable*, ASTM-D5511 tested privacy curtain.
WORKFORCE SAFETY
Hospital ceilings range from 7 to 12 feet high, requiring environmental services to climb a ladder to replace soiled curtains. The tedious process of detaching and replacing heavy curtains one hook at a time while balancing on a ladder is linked to workers’ comp injuries in hospitals across the country. This laborious process also exposes staff to contaminated curtains, disrupts patient care, and results in extended room downtime.
QUICK CHANGE
Change out curtains in 30 seconds-no ladder needed. Simply release the hanging curtain, insert a new one, and click to secure. It’s THAT easy! Panels snap together in seconds to accommodate any size space.
Speedy curtain changes mean less patient disruption, less room downtime, and a staff who actually enjoys changing curtains.
SIMPLE TO INSTALL
Say goodbye to tangled hooks and dirty mesh attached to traditional hospital curtains. The Change Me Curtain® system replaces troublesome hooks with a proprietary wheel system that glides easily and smoothly. Plus, it can fit on your existing track. We offer multiple rod lengths to accommodate a variety of ceiling heights.
TWO WAYS TO TRACK
1. Every curtain is equipped with a timer label. Hang the curtain, add the date, and press the button. The timer will indicate when it's time to replace the curtain.
