The Haines® Antimicrobial Medical Curtains come in a variety of colours, allowing you to purchase specifically for your area so they are always the right length and size, avoiding issues with the wrong reusable curtains being returned from the laundry. They inhibit & reduce bacterial growth and have an identification label, allowing for improved changeover compliance and infection control. The curtains are:
- Antibacterial, antifungal, and sporicidal (C.diff spores).
- Manufactured from 100% polypropylene, non-woven fabric – 120GSM.
- Fire retardant (AS 2755.2-1985) – Failed to Burn.
- Impregnated with anti-bacterial and anti-mildew chemicals including nanometer silver (curtain and mesh).
- Previous studies have demonstrated that pathogens such as VRE, MRSA and Clostridium difficile are still present on non-disposable curtains even after one week post laundering (Ohl,M. et al 2011). Even with steam cleaning, the curtains still remained contaminated (White, L.F; Dancer, S.J; Robertson, C; 2007).
